Questionable. Since for fairly obvious reasons you can't let wikipedians execute arbitrary code through templates there is always going to be the problem of wikipedians useing workarounds that generate problematical code.
ParserFunctions is already Turing-complete, so your first clause is factually inaccurate. The present workaround is to kill template computations that take too long. The problems are: (1) they're hard to program (2) they're hard to parse.
