As I said, it's a stylistic issue. Additionally, whom do you see using this? Foreigners or Japanese? I provided references to web pages supporting my claim. I didn't say it was literally wrong. It's poor style. Thus, learners using kanji as such would be "using kanji too much." Perhaps Japanese using kanji the same way do not have an education in style. Similarly, Americans frequently write essays for class with contractions despite the fact that this is categorically poor form for scholarly essays. I was an editor for an academic journal: I should know.
Obviously Nago or Yuri could come along and shoot what I'm saying down, but I feel fairly confident in what I'm saying simply because I'm finding Japanese articles online agreeing with me.
