Ah sorry I missed that, using gtk_container_add() is
really fine, yes.

However I'm still curious why _gtk_bin_set_child()
exists at all, reading the code it looks like widgets, 
such as GtkComboBox etc are doing the work of GtkBin 
and calling _gtk_bin_set_child().

That code would look much cleaner if it were to
just call gtk_container_add/remove() and not
call gtk_widget_set_parent()/unparent() at all
(and serve as a better example to readers why
might implement a bin widget).
