There's nothing in docs/devel/style.rst.

I count more than 42,000 return statements with indentation > 4.  These
are either within some block, or incorrectly indented.  I'd bet my own
money that it's the former for pretty much all of them.

I count less than 130 labels right before a return statement at end of a
function.

Based on that, I'd say return in the middle of function is
overwhelmingly common in our code.
