I always advise customers not to use the database for any other reason beyond Configmgr and susdb, normally through common sense rather than licencing. Do you a link to the MS support statement on this so I can fire at will at customers? Thanks Paul.

SQL auth is less secure than Windows Auth by its very nature of not being centrally controlled or managed so that's why it's considered not a best practice to use or enable. Also note that based on the licensing agreement, you are not allowed to use non-System Center applications with your instance of SQL Server used for ConfigMgr.
