I would say yes. The key to minimizing or eliminating these stems is that you should not be using numbered steps for anything BUT procedural steps. If you need to number lists, use letters, Roman numerals, etc.

What I am hearing is that I should avoid both "perform" and "do," and reword any sentences that use them.
