Our dojo does them when its called for. If you get caught doing it when it isn't, or are jumping into a breakfall, you can get scolded. No need to slam your body around unless its called for. Sometimes if I get behind as uke or due to the power, I take breakfalls. I am working on making them softer, but I haven't gotten there yet.
I guess the exception would be if you were working on breakfalls.... then you have to take them.

I'd get scolded a lot then. I enjoy taking breakfalls, and, coming from a judo background when I was a kid, I never quite understood the general aikioist's fear of things like koshinage. Those things are pretty standard in both Judo and Jiu-Jitsu, and don't hurt at all if you would at least try to practice them.
You cannot make breakfalls softer. You just slam full-weight into the mat. It makes noise, nothing can be done about that.
