I don't think it worsens accessibility, when used correctly. Example: I have a Responsive Website where logo is changing with srcset in picture-tag and I use display:none for the pages where the logo is not to be shown in the flow of the page. I can't imagine any other way to do that as easy as with display:none in the specific css for those pages.

Accessibility: I think it depends on how it is used

Absolutely, it is one of the most mis-used CSS props.
