This has been a bone of contention between the field and the code for as long as I can recall.  Welding cable is in realworld use on innumerable electric forklifts and other intense battery applications and performs quite well there.  The jacket is certainly more robust than the thermoplastic cabling whicn is officially approved for many locations.  The only problem I can personally see with it is the untinned stranding which tends to corrode more easily in caustic atmospheres.
