What is missing:

Hello! For quite some time I was seeing a message on the docs site that states the following:

Could you please clarify some progress or decision about this matter? Calling Steps from Step Definitions is handy, but me and my colleagues don't want to create a mess for future selves using soon-to-be-deprecated feature.

Thanks in advance!

You can find the motivation and discussion to this topic in this issue: https://github.com/SpecFlowOSS/SpecFlow/issues/1733

I will add a link to it in the documentation.

And yes, it is somehow handy in the beginning, but you will run into a mess very quickly. There are better options for the problems that calling steps from steps are solving.
