There is no sin in not being object-oriented, it all depends on your 
needs. Especially in real-time, procedural approaches are often better 
when ensuring WCET is important.

UML is an object oriented approach, and is not appropriate for 
procedural development. Other tools supporting SART for example might be 
more appropriate.

The need must be lead the choice of the tool, not the other way round!
