I agree.

The fundamental problem is one that has always been present when
entering keyboard macros:  You need to be slightly careful and consider
possible ways that your commands might work differently in a different
context.  Often this means using different, more robust or more
primitive commands than you might use interactively.

I don't think line-move-visual changes much.
