"Even assuming ... " does the same thing while conceding less. After all, the opponent can make its own case:)

I think the two phrases have different roles. "Even assuming," grants X but says it doesn't matter. /1

Versus, e.g. "To be sure, courts typically give meaning to every word. But that rule is not ironclad."
-
"Even assuming, as X argues, that courts typically give meaning to every word, that rule shouldn't apply here.":)
-
To be sure, you can write around it. But I find it a useful transition nonetheless. :)

(Though, I didn't realize there was a group against it. Good to hear the other perspectives on it!)
-
Nah, I'm no absolutist. The right transition for the right occasion, I always say:)
