Reasonable and prudent leverage is fine.

Agree with Rodney 100%
This is a circular conversation. One size doesn't fit all and each person's financial situation is different.
I've leveraged a HELOC many times over the years, but I've always balanced that with the knowledge that I could liquidate other assets to pay off the equity line if needed. You just need to be disciplined and pay down the principle. I'm also the guy who always takes advantage of 24 month 0% financing for large purchases, because I know I'm going to pay it off before the interest kicks in.
