The main complaint on those pages seems to be that LSM is only focused
on access control.  You may or may not regard that as a flaw, but you
can get an enormous amount of security (as SELinux has demonstrated)
with pure access control.

SELinux is quite practical, as the number of people using it
demonstrates.

As for "dangerous" - that's just total crap.  If someone has the
capability to install a rootkit at all, your system is totally lost.
