We had this goal not to use one, but ended up using one because a nurse told me that babies who sleep with pacifiers are less likely to suffer SIDS. I don't even know if it's true, I just took her word for it at the time.
I breastfed for more than 18 months, and she still liked her pacifier. It was not hard to ween her from it, only took a week or so, gone before she was 2. Did no damage.
So I'd just say it's personal choice. The only bad thing I remember was having to always have a backup, in case one was lost or fell in the dirt or something.
