+1 Dan. When I was first learning Fusebox, the concept of why XFA's were needed was hard for me to grasp. It seemed like unnecessary abstraction just for the sake of abstraction.
But as I started using them, I did find it somewhat comforting that I could look at my circuit.xml file and know exactly what was going on in any given place, all centrally located in one file. Same with MG and MG.xml. Especially with the cfeclipse frameworks plugin. I don't think it would be terrible to forego them in favor of event.linkTo() with a hard-coded event-handler argument. But my preference would be to keep that info in the MG.xml, where I can peruse the event-handler names easily, and just add/modify an XE values right there as needed. Like so many other things, I think it just comes down to personal preference. I can't think of any compelling reason why I'd call either way "bad".
