Downside: a minor problem with fragmentation. :)))

(The extra disk overhead can be disregarded as long as you have decent amounts of cache, because disk writes are generally localized in the directory tree anyway. At least they are if atime updates are disabled. Using a filesystem like this with atime updates enabled strikes me as... perhaps unwise.)
