“RSA is bad because developers often don’t implement it correctly, leading to vulnerabilities. Instead, use ECC, which can also be implemented incorrectly, but developers tend to do this less.”

The article raises some good points, but it really explains why you shouldn’t use your own RSA or an unaudited third-party library. A good RSA implementation which has been audited by security experts and doesn’t take shortcuts for performance would alleviate the OP’s concerns.
