Key-based logon is a bad idea in general because afaik, it's not possible to implement any type of password policy on those keys. This therefore potentially allows someone with access to those keys, access to further accounts or resources on remote systems. The exception to this where the task required, can be suitably restricted to a small and preferably unprivileged set of commands, such as in automated logons.
