I can imagine that using copy books incorrectly could cause problemjs, but using copy books at all will almost certainly lead to all kinds of problems if you have the situation where two modules need to define something the same.

Binding directories is a separate thing entirely. You can easily manage without binding directories by explicitly listing the necessary modules and service programs on your CRTPGM and CRTSRVPGM commands, assuming you have those in somethink like a CL program.
