Stoppage time is fine. It mitigates time wasting tactics to a degree and ensures that the clock doesn't present an unfair advantage to a team with the lead. It also doesn't cut off an attack arbitrarily at the end of the game. Given the relatively few scoring plays in soccer the difference of a couple minutes in either direction isn't going to make much of a difference in tactics or the result of the game.
In Basketball or football on the other hand an arbitrary time limit pretty much has to be imposed given the frequency of the scoring.
There's a point where awarding to much or too little extra time becomes an egregious deviation from the 45 minutes of each half but I'd imagine such instances are rare.
