it is, until you have to hand your plans off to someone else to work with in their toolchain
every time I want my local laser cutting shop to cut my piece correctly, I have to export my drawing from my CAD suite as a DXF, open Inkscape, set the page size to something physical like A4, import the DXF, align it on the physical page, then print the result as a PDF. This is the only way that the laser shop reliably receives a properly scaled drawing. Any deviation from this procedure has led to wasted time and material.
