I still use dh-make from time to time. Mainly to get a template for debian/control and debian/copyright. It tend to be annoyed by the *.ex and *.EX files though (IMO it would be better to have a debian/TODO listing all the stuff that one should consider adding to the package with appropriate pointers to the documentation). In any case, I think it's a good idea to list dh-make in packaging-dev's Recommends.

The idea is that you get all the tools required to contribute to most of the packaging teams in Debian. It's not about endorsing a specific workflow.
