I have been using dontrun for a long time (and I am still using it) 
without any real issues. Initially, I used it to get rid of runtime 
notes impeding submission to CRAN. Now I am also using it for additional 
features, e.g., to describe some additional analyses / figure layouts.

I always check my packages under R-devel on 
https://win-builder.r-project.org/ before submission to CRAN. If this 
does not trigger any notes, the package is good to go.

Best, Guido
