Do you know what reasons the lawyers gave for steering clear? i.e. The arguments for your scenario as a potential competitor may not apply to other potential users. Also some lawyers just give "steer clear" as default advise, since that way they themselves are in the clear / there's no benefit to them to tell you to go for it, so the incentive is for them to be overly cautious.
