I learned the MCH3601 from Jim Slone. And it's all through the QUSRTOOLS
and now the licensed programs TAATool sells. With that I'm assuming it's
not dangerous, since Jim designed it in the first place.

That said, he did retire some years ago, things may have changed.

Pretty sure I've seen somewhere in this list that using this method is a BAD
idea, that BAD things could happen trying to access the memory location of a
parameter that was not actually passed to the program. I personally have
not witnessed problems using this method, so I am excited about David's
finding.
