I don't think "impregnable" is an autantonym.

It's presumably the adjective for when something can be impregnated.

It is objected to in some writing.
"Inflammable" is taught to be avoided.
So are things that mean opposite things depending on locale, like "tabling" an issue. It may be ok within a local group, but would be avoided in writing inside a multinational corporation.

Everything is objected to, that’s not sufficient for a decision. It’s the reason or volume of objecting.
Just saying there’s some objection is the Twitter fallacy. It could be one person, or even me, or it could be 100% of editors.

"Wicked" to mean "good" is slang. So is "cool", used in that sense. Slang is not encyclopaedic language.
First you dust the cake, then you dust the table.
The castle is impregnable.
And if you add more collocial words, wicked now is good, but also means bad. When a song is cool, you mean it's hot.
People tend to not object to that.
