And it works! I learned a lot about preventing magic with this here: https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/state.html

For me - and I mostly do frontend apps now - I always advise to go for state pattern instead of complex if/thens. Thanks to the aforementioned article.

If you have enough discipline, sure. Finite state machine tools like XState are more strict about this.
