The fact you tried to rudely and defensively turn my "consider the downsides" (that you actually asked for!) into "rationalization chock-a-block" tells me it doesn't really "depend" for you.
If you think I'm taking a side by merely pointing out something has downsides: you're projecting. Neither reusing nor building from scratch should be automatic decisions taken without consideration.
