Very true, but libxml2 supports (albeit incompletely) validating XML
documents with XSD, so any questions pertaining to that are valid.

XSDs provide a basic constraint mechanism that works very well. Beyond
the basics (i.e. conditional restriction), yes, one should avoid using
it. If the design calls for XSD validation including basic occurrence
restriction, I see no reason to shy away from it.
All the best!
