As I've said in the past, use the cheese as a force multiplier, not a crutch.
Play like you would normally, and use the cheese to make up for shortcomings in your playstyle, Eg, I dont have a good pair of headphones, so I use the ESP in my peripheral vision like a very accurate pair of headphones, I don't look at people through walls directly, I slip them into the side of my FOV.
Same case with recoil reduction, I still mod the weapon out, but I may put a tiny bit of recoil compensation here and there to make the weapon even more comfortable, I don't take a unmodded gun out and just crank that thing up to 11.
Thats how I've made it through 3 patches cheesing so far, I know others can get away with some more stuff, but this style has worked for me.
