I'm fine with a bit of bulletsponging when it's reasonable, like, a Mancubus is a fat fucker, obviously a bullet that would penetrate deep enough to kill a person might not be adequate for a Mancubus, not without a whole lot of tries or a bigger gun.

I'm generally fine with big and bad boss monsters taking a beating, because you want a boss fight to not be over in the blink of an eye, but there's of course always exceptions.
NeoDoom is an example of unforgivable bullet sponging, those stupid Super Vixen bosses had like 65000hp, which is just obscene, this was a mod where you carried like 35+ different weapons at a time, as well as probably 15+ inventory items of various kinds, yet there wasn't anything you had which would really make those fights not last forever, particularly that time you had to fight several of them.
