One can assume that since he said "coil isolators" and not "Coil Spacers" that he means the stock isolators.
The only thing I can think of, is that the rubber is not as sturdy as a poly spacer. I stacked 3 of those once to get 1.5" and after a few off-road trips, the bottom spacer, which was much over used, sort of died and that spring didn't sit right. I replaced them with TeraFlex spacers and never looked back.

My friend does it, works fine. Just don't go overboard and try to get 4 inches of lift out of the isolators.

I see it all the time, on XJ and TJs. It works good to gain an extra inch or so.

I used three per side (in addition to the original one) to get two inches lift. No problems after two years now.
They are cheap, about 6 bux each.

I have seen horror story pictures of that actually. I think cmelo posted them in one of the threads in the NAC forum a few months ago but I don't recall for sure, some idiot had like 5" of their bumpstop tubes covered with stock isolators. It looked like some horrible nightmarish stack of pancakes.
And yeah, it works fine, great if your rig doesn't quite sit level because they are only 5/8" thick so you can adjust pretty closely. The junkyards usually also only charge like 5 bucks a pair for them, at least around here.
