The adapters are fine. It is probably the highest quality adapter you could use, since it is basically the only "first party" manufactured option.
Lincoln is saying they suck for "modular" use, though (i.e. swapping in other Famicom boards), since so many Famicom boards vary so wildly in size and may not fit within the confines of an NES shell.
Couple that with this Wrecking Crew variant being more rare than other similar-era adapter variants, and you are potentially better off just buying a passable "self contained" adapter.
