Threads like this make me wish that the Unicode list had a "daily digest"

Considering all of the support that exists for properly storing,
transmitting, transcoding, and collating precomposed characters, I do not
think anyone but the zealots are calling them "bad". They are a part of
Unicode.

If there is some reason that you find it prudent to use them, then use
them....
