Rebase is fine as long as it's your own unshared work. The alternative is https://xkcd.com/1296/

Don't rebase main.

Don't rebase shared branches.

It's amazingly powerful at making clear annotated changes. And removing small fixup commits for work in progress.

When someone says "never do x" there's probably a missing understanding of nuance.

THIS. Rebasing and squashing local/private changes allows for easier experimentation/rollback while you're implementing. BUT, rebasing anything shared will cause pain to others and should be avoided.
