Manual pages are reference material and not a place for advocacy. Proper use of the feature, which seems to document its drawbacks (checked function call etc.), is a duty of the one writing a shell script. We don't have Python in base, so we can't recommend that.

Since I haven't had my hands on the script, nor am I volunteering to become its maintainer, I am not going to claim reponsibility for it. I think my stance is clear, "automatically fail everywhere" and handle those few expected errors, and let's remove @jilles's manpage addition (that scares users away from set -e in the sh(1) man page) because it's not substantiated. manpages aren't the place to scare people without giving reasons. We're early enough after a freshly forked quarterly release to clean up fallout over the next ten weeks, so... perhaps that fact makes your decision easier.
