Only thing that doesn't is ninjutsus (excluding Raiton), but there's no optimal situation where you'd even do that without taking some sort of loss.
It's not like Raiton makes you do the Raijus.. If using them would put you in the fire, then just play as you did before they were added, and use them later when you can.
Same as when you move away from the boss to avoid an AOE. You can't use melee distance actions without running back into the bad stuff, so you just don't use them.
