I will have to admit Kindle take down notices were responsible for a fair chunk of my early ebook cleanup jobs and a couple of those were due to ePub3 ebooks that used JavaScript.
For my personal use, I can go wild on using advanced features but for commercial work, KISS is definitely the only way to go. I do use a mix of ePub2 and ePub3 code but that is as far as I go at this time.

I think since this is the epub forum, we shouldn't speak about Amazon here, because the epub destined to be a .azw3 or .KFX format is another kind of epub. But of course, those epubs can't have js (and many others css3 properties).
