There are some types where wheelers are't recommended. Maule being one. There are types where the wheeler is the way to go, usually to avoid tail blanking. The DC3 for example.

If you're going into a short grass strip it's not a good idea to waste runway on a wheeler, though you might prefer to wheel or 2 point the same aircraft onto tarmac in a strong / xwind.

Horses for courses really. This, as far as I know, isn't an approved technique.
