Can I second this?

The only time I ever used a parallel list comprehension was by accident.
I accidentally used '|' rather than ',' in a list comprehension and
ended up with a bug that was quite hard to track down.

Now one could argue that I could make a similar mistake with pretty much
any language feature, but it's precisely because it's a rarely used
language feature that it makes this problem worse because you're not
looking for that kind of problem.
