yes, but they exist for a reason: a transition period.
is not possible to really port to qml1 a couple of widgets, and those are

* the plotters used in systemmonitor

* textedit, where is still not possible to have the complete right mouse 
button menu the textedit had (with actions like find, copy, spellcheck..)
also is still not possible to have the inline spellcheck

so s acceptable to use them is some contexts for now, keeping in mind that 
will have to be ported in the future (still less work than porting the 
complete plasmoid :p)
