I do use <unique> in my plugins. But only if the user doesn't override the default keybinding with his own. I rely on <plug>mappings to do so.

If the user report the error, well we need to explain her/him what can be done to silence the error. The user has to make a choice which we cannot do for her/him: either to continue with the keybinding defined in the .vimrc or provided in another plugin, or to choose another keybinding for our plugin.



In my ftplugins, I've used <unique> <plug>ged mappings a few times, but I'm not sure this is the best thing to do.
Which reminds me in a few places I've replaced <unique> with another approach that issues a less intrusive warning.

It's used with:
nnoremap <Plug>TogglePreviewIfHold :Toggle Cpreview_if_hold<cr>
call lh#mapping#plug({'lhs': '<localleader>tpw', 'rhs': '<Plug>TogglePreviewIfHold'}, 'n')

With lh#mapping#plug being defined over there: https://github.com/LucHermitte/lh-vim-lib/blob/master/autoload/lh/mapping.vim#L99
