using the rc.local is going to be easier to support than creating your own systemd service to do exactly the same thing.
I have been using the rc.local stuff for a while for anything that does not have a native systemd unit file. I think the comment of not using it is for other developers to not put into their instructions to add xxx to rc.local and telling them to create a proper systemd unit file. There have always been a lot of projects out there that just say add it to rc.local and do not create a proper startup script to be used.
