If the UK's Cross Report had stopped with a statement like "the evidence for the effectiveness is weak", I don't think it would have been at all controversial. Everyone agrees that it's hard to gather evidence when you can't ethnically do RCTs. The problem was that Cross continued with "...and therefore doctors shouldn't make these interventions and the government should ban them".
