It is. The issue is not portability:

If $MSYSTEM has value "-r" or something like that then the command does
something else than intended.

Works fine on my systems. I'm sure there are older ones where it
doesn't, but are they still relevant? I can't be bothered to read the
enormous table properly... :)

Solaris 10 is still relevant (Oracle says they'll support it until
January 2021, and it's still widely used), and its /bin/sh 'test' command
isn't reliable with '=':
$ test '(' = ')'
test: argument expected
