Lawns certainly have a role; hard to picnic or play soccer in tall fields of native grasses. Keeping a small patch as a part of ones landscaping is fine imo

I think mixed greens generally do better. Grass monocultures are really just for sporting fields and other very hard used areas.

Even so clover etc is often beneficial and will stay naturally if poison isn't sprayed.
