I'm not sure where you are getting this information, but I'd ignore the labelling of things as best practice and anti-pattern and delve deeper into the reason why some design is a bad fit or good fit for the problem you are trying to solve.

A made up example to illustrate:

It may be seen as an anti-pattern to have a site that requires JS and cannot function without it. Tim Burners Lee would not be impressed with you.

On the other hand if you are developing a paid-for web app and you know the users are happy to have JS enabled to use it then this may be less of an issue.

4 real examples to validate op

    Goto considered harmful
    Jquery .show ()/.hide () is now biggest performance drain in some SPAS
    Node callbacks now harmful, async/await or promises could be next... possibly
    React is so slow it cannot render > 10 fps for some SPA

Ha! These things prove my point.

"considered" "promises could be next..." ... think for yourselves! don't let Mr/Mrs famous blogger dictate how you solve problems.
