That is the consensus opinion.
Currently drivers implement the MSI tests because the core PCI code hasn't been up to snuff. I (and others) have been discouraging that, but when a user faces a choice between working and non-working network, the pragmatic solution wins.
All efforts to get us to the point where we can remove the MSI tests from drivers are strongly supported...
