What's the issue? I use nvim and regularly use :! and haven't noticed an issue.

It doesn't support interactive commands. For example if you run a command that asks for input before finishing, it gets swallowed.

It does something using neovim's internal terminal mode rather than use the file descriptors it was called with. Most commonly this breaks when a command produces an interactive prompt or uses a pager.
