Caution
CredSSP authentication delegates the user credentials from the local computer to a remote computer. This practice increases the security risk of the remote operation. If the remote computer is compromised, when credentials are passed to it, the credentials can be used to control the network session.

You are absolutely right, that is not the best solution. Should only be used when access needs to be made from a non Azure AD Joined machine.
