Not frontend but I use them extensively now in backend + REST endpoints. I still think they are necessary to prevent having to hotfix builds when something breaks with a new feature, however I don't think they are purely good. Too many feature flags add a lot of complexity to the testing surface of a project and if the test suite isn't well adapted to test all the configurations then people will end up unit testing their feature flag (if they do at all) and not doing any kind of integration testing of the specific combination of flags that production may find itself in. You need to have a well thought out test suite.
