Hello Karl,
Indeed, generally, we do not recommend to use InstanceReportSource, but it will not become obsolete as it is a necessary solution in some cases. It is the ReportSource that can pass an instance of a report definition to the Reporting engine. For example, when it is required to modify the report definition dynamically and this cannot be done with Expressions, Bindings or the other tools we provide and recommend for this purpose.
Let us know if you have any additional questions.
Best Regards,
Silviya
