No we should avoid.
It has been decided to slowly replace such barriers.
By the way, I think it is not enough documented.
You can find an explanation in doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst

I think we should also add some notes to
lib/eal/include/generic/rte_atomic.h
Tyler, Honnappa, Ruifeng, Konstantin, what do you think?
