I don't have an opinion on this particular compiler, or really any other similar one, but: Can't one make the same argument about a compiler from C++ to x86 machine code? C++ and x86 certainly don't have anything like a 1:1 mapping, but people use those all the time.
I think an important question is whether the compiler output will need to be touched by humans. If it's just going to be run or compiled more or whatever then it doesn't really matter how the various features map.
