Author here. I thought was doing what I was supposed to do by using Decimals heavily in my credkit[0] Python library, but I did some testing and discovered it wasn't worth the pain for me. Test code [1] is available for the curious.

The moral of the story is that "best practices" are not a substitute for using your brain.
