Personally, so long as all that stuff's behind a feature bundle I'm all in favour of it.
A little nitpick: it's not about "multidimensional hashes", but rather "multidimensional array emulation". Steer clear of it, if you can.
I personally don't mind using variables like $; or whatever. Some prefer to "use English" and use longer variables name for the same effect. More power to them.
I just wrap the call with the proper "## no critic (...)" and off I go.
