It depends on your environment, I guess. If you're a student writing an essay or a researcher writing a paper, it's in your best interest to avoid sounding like an LLM, which means going out of your way to avoid certain idioms, even if it means letting go of things you liked to write.
I used to love a spaced en dash (the British English equivalent of the American unspaced em dash), but I wouldn't risk it now.

You're right, of course. But today, it's not a risk worth taking, at least not for professional writing where the suspicion of LLM writing can be damning.
