I once dislocated my wrist doing that sankyo reversal against a well executed sankyo. One needs to take nage's balance when doing reversals, not just flail away.

Mel puts it aptly. Kaeshi waza is primarily done when you have an opening, it's not always an option. If the technique is done well, uke is always off balance and openings are covered, I wouldn't dream of trying kaeshi waza. If an opening materializes, tori gives me back my balance, then I may try kaeshi waza if I can react quick enough.
Be careful if you just try it for the hell of it, make sure you have an opening to work with otherwise you may end up with a dislocation like Mel's or much worse in a technique like shihonage.
