    Notice how they are all oGCD, there is a bit more leeway in regards to clipping in that regard, however, I also haven't heard of a 'Mudra Replacement Macro (and a quick google didn't provide anything), so I cannot really comment on that.

    In this case The Balance specifically states that you can use this macro mid cast, which means it doesn't interrupt/get interrupted by anything else you do. One of the few cases where there is zero downsides.

    If you have used that many, I would suggest reducing the number you use for combat. You shouldn't macro anything on the GCD and you shouldn't mix several actions in the same macro.

    This is obviously ignoring the fact the topic is over 2 years old. Take from that info what you will.

    The entire topic is me correcting your mis-information on macros and generally trying to help you make a better post that properly provides the correct information in a clear fashion without obstructing it behind other less relevant paragraphs. Which, by the way, you have never fixed, which to this day I still believe is because you don't want to give people the proper information to make an informed decision, you just wanted your 'macros are good' to be a universal truth, despite the fact it isn't.

    This is despite you saying you hate misinformation and want people to make an informed decision: Post, First paragraph after second post. Of which I do then provide a template, with basic information on each point that you could literally use to ensure the information provided was presented in a proper way that didn't obfuscate any details (Post in question).

    And, whilst I'm not going to go through the whole topic in detail again, there are several disadvantages to macros that make them objectively worse than just using the normal actions. Now, I do understand you have made this because of your own personal needs, however, this doesn't mean it is suitable for everyone and should be limited to people who can make use of the system to allow them to play the game and not be as much of a hinderance. It should not be something that is promoted to everyone. Unfortunately, your stubbornness to properly acknowledge the limitations is preventing you from seeing this.
