It seems to be working reliably now. Anybody know of any reason why this approach might be a bad idea? Sort of like how we've been encouraged not to use things like 'wait until the mouseClick'?

It shouldn't be a problem the way you're using it here. The mouse function can eat CPU if it's being polled - called repeatedly, as in "wait until the mouse is down" or "repeat until the mouse is up" or similar - but here you're only calling it once per round of the handler. I think even Scott would approve. ;-)
