I don't think the cmake community has an enforced answer to that question. For me personally, I prefer to avoid practices which I would discourage in documentation. It is not unusual for me to look at the tests of a project which I'm trying to understand better, and generally tests which are doing things which "shouldn't" be done are marked as such and are outnumbered by tests which do things which should be done. So, that's what I'd encourage and why, but it's not a hard requirement for CMake contributions.
