Yeah, no: We use recursive make extensively with a mix of "just normal makefiles" and autoconf schtuff, and it all works fine and reliably.
It's like any programming: Understand your tools, understand your requirements, understand your design and implementation (code carefully), test, review the design and implementation, test, repeat as necessary.
Still a big fan of make all these decades later. One day I may reach BJJ blue belt level.
