Guess it depends how much you're earning. I have a low paid contract 2 days a week; my own limited company and accountant would cost too much, the umbrella don't have to pull any stunts with HMRC (IR35) 'cause I don't earn enough to bother with divvies. Yes they do get me to fill in expenses forms for legitimate travel and subsistence, what's the problem with that?
If you're worried about IR35 then submit your contract to HMRC for an opinion. I've never known them to tell anybody I know (myself included when I did this seriously) that they're caught by IR35 (you will find plenty on Contractor UK who have been no doubt).
As I say, depends what you're earning.
