I do this all the time and makes code way cleaner.   It's very straightforward with inserts queries.  When you deal with updates/deletes, things can be trickier.  I usually leave these in a transaction if there is any concern.

They can also be hard for future programmers that may not understand SQL.  Make sure you comment your queries for maintainability long term.

I have yet to regret replacing a transaction with a CTE over the past decade.  YMMV
This must assume auto-commit mode where every single statement is "committed"?

That's the only way to explain an otherwise very puzzling question. OP must not do lots of DML in each transaction.
