Yes this is far more likely.  Digital devices and displays should of course have their own switcher.

I think the word of caution is not against smps in general, but w.r.t. a filthy +5V going to a micro controller, including all current/voltage spikes coming from digital operation. 
Before you know it, you may hear something like a software LED refresh rate on the supply line.
