Is it really that bad to use multiple h1 tags per page? If using hgroup,article,header,footer,section tags to give semantic meaning to the page? Found a lot of discussions and none of them clearly answers this.

Each section can include own h1 element. See wiki for details. Use W3C Markup Validation Service to check your HTML.
