Yep. I primarily use Go, so you are often forced down this way because it uses a simpler regex engine. I used to complain but in hindsight I realized it was a blessing in disguise. Particularly in Go's case, it has excellent character set library support, especially unicode, so those really tricky corner cases with unicode characters are non-existent now as well. I will be happy if I never see a regex with a unicode range again.
