Is there any limitation of using SharePoint Boolean Yes/No column type

I rely a lot on the SharePoint Boolean Yes/No column type:-

now i were reading this article and other articles https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Delegation-warning-for-calculated-column/td-p/470520 , and they advice to stay way of using calculated columns and Yes/No column.. but i am not sure why the Boolean column type should be avoided? although based on my test i can do this filtering without any delegation warnings :-

so i can get the items which are Not draft + Are rejected + Title = Test... so what is the limitation of using Yes/no SharePoint column type? and do we really need to avoid using them?

    @johnjohnPter - boolean field types do have delegation support with SharePoint. It is likely the author of the post you have linked avoids them because common operators such as ">" or ">" are not supported.
