Not case of being risky. It's case of not being repeatable. The whole point of HOME switches is to be able to repeatabily return to Fixed position every time. The random delay between when switch is triggered and time takes relay to open it's contacts to allow message to control makes repeatabilty impossible.
The delay for limits isn't so important because like you say it's milliseconds but for repeatabilty purposes that is life time plus it's random amount of time.
Again because of repeatabilty you wan't slightly better switch for homes. Personally I like using inductive Proximity sensors because they are accurate and repeatable. Well more than enough for router anyway.
