Is this good topology? I thought n-gons were a huge no-no?

those aren't n-gons

1. Those aren't n-gons, it's subdivided.
2. n-gons don't exist. quads don't exist. bad topology depends on the use case for the geometry in question.

Anon is right. Everything exists as triangles under the hood. Quads and Ngons are for the convenience of the user. They're a way to organize a model in the same way functions and classes are a way to organize a program.

Depends on what you want to do. It won't maintain shape under subdivision around corners as is.

You have to know why. I want quads because I want to have control over my edge flow and insert loops as I intended. I leave a six pole if the surface is flat and non-deforming. Pentagon poly used for the curve-saddle point like the arm pit and so forth (example of where you'd use an n-gon.)

Subdivision and smoothing artifacts beg to differ.
