/reloading a fabric server. Is it as bad as with Paper (and alternatives)?

I know using /reload on Spigot, Bukket, and Paper causes issues. But does that apply with Fabric mods? I use it to reload datapacks.

https://madelinemiller.dev/blog/problem-with-reload/ Doesn't state anything about Fabric/Forge
Why you should never /reload on Spigot, Bukkit, and Paper
The reload command in Bukkit is fundamentally broken and flawed, here's why, and what you should be doing instead.

fabric and forge are completely different to paper, spigot and bukkit, which all work on the same base, bukkit, so not valid at all. Mods are meant to be loaded at startup, but I believe forge and fabric don't have a reload function at all, so that would be the vanilla reload am I wrong? In that case, it should be completely correct, unless your datapack relies on world generation, which is only executed on startup, or any other thing that executes on login, if possible.

Reload should be fine on forge and Fabric but I've never trusted it personally

Doesn't /minecraft:reload exist on Forge? I know that it can be used in vanilla to reload datapacks

Thats what I meant, forge doesnt have reload afaik, so the /reload is already /minecraft:reload
