Well, like everything else, "rules" like this are meant to be broken.

I've seen film of a leica photographer no less noted than David Alan Harvey
happily popping his little Vivitar flash on an M6 to balance the light when
taking shots inside on color film in Cuba... whether you need TTL metering
to do this effectively is up for debate, but using a small flash for fill is
certainly something that you need to do if you shoot a lot of slide film
inside.
