This is complete nonsense! There are very good reasons to use measure attached expressions with stafflists. Anywhere where you want an expression to appear on different staves in the score and the parts measure attached expressions are in fact very important.
My tempo indications like "Allegro" etc all are measure attached with a stafflist that places them on the top part in the score, plus the top string part in some cases, or perhaps the piano part, all depending on circumstances. In the parts they print out on every part.
