Do you think they are ever justified?
Often they're hated and with good reason. However, I think there are some exceptions. I think the Dead Space series is fine using QTEs. They're used for intense "execution evasion" encounters which I think are a great mechanic of the game. At least, I think they're QTEs (could be wrong)

They're okay if it's part of a cutscene, or the VERY end of an epic fight. Kind of like how God of War did it. You smash a boss with everything you have, and as it is dying, you slice its head off in epic fashion via QTE. However, it should never take up the entire fight.
