I know some people use them, but the whole concept of the wobbling dado blade is one that just bothers me. Too bad a real dado blade set-up is so much more expensive.

I think it's one of those things where you have to make your own call. A good rule of thumb when working with power tools is that if a procedure you are about to go through doesn't feel right or scares you, you probably shouldn't do it.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
