There are differing opinions on the subject, but I consider stain to be OK.  If you can get the tones you want with the stain then go for it.  I have done several finishes where all or part was stain and they look very nice.  The main reason they used lacquer for toning was because it was faster in a production environment than multiple steps with stain.
