Use Reentrancy Guards
Reentrancy is generally not expected behavior in most smart contracts, with the exception of callback systems like those used in Uniswap. As a best practice, this behavior should be restricted unless explicitly necessary.
In practice, all state-changing functions that include external calls should be protected by a reentrancy guard by default, and any removal of this protection should only occur after a thorough assessment of its impact.
If gas optimization is a concern, consider using a reentrancy guard library that leverages transient storage. Be aware that some EVM chains do not support transient storage. For details on opcode support across different chains, refer to evmdiff.com.
