Only if you set it and forget it.

Maybe...if you don't watch it like a hawk. When I do that, i try to stay within 10 knots of selected airspeed. If it gets slower, just lower your climb rate a little and let the airspeed come back. Min range climb almost....

My company, on my jet, specifically warns against use of v/s when approaching a selected altitude. The altitude capture mode is "Foxtrot Uniformed" by use of v/s near the capture mode creating the the possibility of an overshoot of the selected altitude. Not good, especially if one was distracted right at the time the airplane was "expected" to level off.
Maybe this is just a function of an auto flight system that is/was over designed, or under engineered.
ever jumpseated on a CRJ200 and seen the rate of climb? zero risk of an overshoot

Speed mode 250 to 10k, then set 290 in speed mode, allow a/c to lower pitch to 3* then select pitch mode and turb mode.

Or if I want to go fast, then 1000 FPM above 10k until it slows to 250 KIAS then v/s as needed to maintain 250 to TOC.

speed mode if it is GLASS in the climb. Can't stand the oscillating!

Speed mode on descent in terminal area. Closest thing to auto throttles.
