The limitation on admixture analysis are unavoidable: there are very, very few "markers" that have been identified that have highest incidence in only a single"population"; admixture has been going on for a long time; mutations mutate. And percentage ancestry estimates are only estimates and can only be estimated based on the number of markers sequenced. How many markers is enough if an entire human genome has more than three billion basepairs?
So, one buys one's ticket and takes one's chances.
