So what features of dired break? All I see in the docs for that var is:
dired-use-ls-dired is a variable defined in `dired.el'.
Its value is unspecified
Documentation:
Non-nil means Dired should use "ls --dired".
The special value of `unspecified' means to check explicitly, and
save the result in this variable. This is performed the first
time `dired-insert-directory' is called.
You can customize this variable.
Ahh, in ls-lisp.el, I see
;; RESTRICTIONS ======================================================
;; * A few obscure ls switches are still ignored: see the docstring of
;; `insert-directory'.
;; TO DO =============================================================
;; Complete handling of F switch (if/when possible).

Is that what you're talking about?
