    Macros were specifically designed to be poor in combat.
    So the answer is no.

    My only combat macros are the ones that switch my main hotbar around. I keep single target abilities on one and AoEs on the other, and swap between them as needed.

    The only one that kind word are the hotbar switching, and people mainly use it to switch between AOE and single, so they don't have to bind them to different key. So for example your single combo is bounded to 1-6 on Hotbar 1, you put your AOE combo on 1-6 on hotbar 7, then have a macro to swap the 2 hotbar as needed.

    But macro don't really work if you want to chain combo itself.

    That's wild people do that, because there's an ingame function for this already that doesn't use the macro system.

    Personally I like to mess with my keybindings as little as possible, so it helps to have the macro sitting on my hotbar, where I can drag it if I want to change what button it is.

    There's also the fact that those same buttons are used to target party members on my healer jobs, which don't require that hotbar switching function.

    Playing on controller, I find Reaper to be one of the least cumbersome jobs to map out the abilities. I can comfortably assign everything.
