As others have said, they seem to be fine for certain kinds of controlled movements, but you need to be deliberate/careful in deciding which ones are okay for you.
I was just reading Peak Performance Fitness last night, and she uses the kind where you can add or remove weight.

For some moves couldn't you use a resistance loop instead?

Jeannine and Vantreesta bring up good points...
There are some standing moves that resistance loops actually work your muscles better ( imho) than ankle weights. There are some floor moves that using a pilates circle or pilates ball or a weighted bar makes things more interesting, too.
