Sure, but is the smell because of OData or is that smell mostly coming from the messy old enterprise cruft that an OData veneer has been applied over? I can't really speak to how Dynamics did this in detail, but on my crusty enterprise platform with a huge existing api surface we did a veneering project as a rest v1 using OData (intentionally avoiding esoteric bits, but using query, $metadata, and limited relationships). It does have an enterprisy cobweb feel in places but I think that'd be present if we'd done it without OData as well.
