Honey trees waste an arbitrary amount of time and are largely non-deterministic. HGSS (and even base DP) has a ton of things that take time, but as long as you know what you're doing most of them are fine. Arguably the worst are Swarms, since they're both completely random and non-deterministic even when they happen, but since there's nothing you can do to effect them AND swarming Pokemon usually have a good appearance rate it's less of a problem and more of a nice surprise. As it stands, honey trees are just worse Headbutt trees and make me appreciate them a lot more.
