Given the fact that foreign values inherently require the use of unsafe due to not being able to verify anything about the value and it's behavior, yes, it's generally not recommended unless you're looking to write your own scripting integration plugin. Likewise, most of these scripting language runtimes are almost always not threadsafe in the slightest, requiring either single threading all scripted behavior, expensive locks, and heavy use of marshalling, which negates a lot of the performance benefits of the engine.

For more developer experience oriented reasons why this is done, I strongly suggest reading cart's reasons for making Bevy to begin with: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/8107#discussi.... More specifically the "Turtles all the way down" bullet point.
