However, one should use passive voice sparingly.

No, one should write exactly as one pleases as long
as one writes well. There is no other rule that makes
any sense. (And if one does not write well no manual
is going to help.)

It is by far more annoying to me to keep finding
ways to avoid the passive voice than it is to
hear it used too much. And all the little people
who make up these stupid rules are only
encouraged by those of you who give
them unction.
