Like anything if it is done right it is ok. I take it you never tried to remove a good braze job. It is as good as a weld but it will flex a little before it will come loose because it is softer where mild steel wire wont. Very old school back when that is all they had. I once seen an old body man that used a brazing tip and regular wire. A lot of heat but man it was clean and smooth when he was done.
 
An old timer I knew used to repair 40s,50s and 60s
fenders with a brazing torch and wire coat hangers.
Had an add in Hemmings and stayed covered up with work.
