Yes, if it solves your problem and is easy to use and implement, it is a good solution, since today we do not have it in RecyclerView.

In my projects I have, at times I needed to do this, but I chose to do it manually without using the library, because depending on what you will use, it is relatively easy to do.

For example, I have a project here used for restaurants, where you have a list of products and each product on the list has its price list. To implement this I put only one RecyclerView with a Adapter and within this Adapter in the onBindViewHolder I put to create the Adapter from the price list. In my product layout, I have a new RecyclerView for price list, so prices are loaded within each product. When the user clicks on a product, I change the display of the price list that is on it to visible, functioning as an expandable list.

All this would be easily implemented using this library, but to avoid too many dependencies, and as it is simple for my case, I decided in that way.
