registerEventListener(TIMER_TICK... was the old way of achieving this. Modules actually use this method in it's core, but there's a queue system on top of that so you can support
multiple TIMER_TICKs in a sense, as well as delay, stop, pause, and restart them.
To support old scripts that still have this method, any registerEventListener with TIMER_TICK specified will create a module, it's the same thing, but you should definitely just use a Module in the first place.
As far as my scripts, if I had time I would update them all to use modules, infinite while loops are fine if you have a dedicated .lua script for that specific action.
