I think the biggest disadvantage is that it allows for uncontrolled growth.
The max extent error is really a big warning sign saying your sizing was way
off or an application piece is going out of control. Like auto-growing data
files, unlimited max extents can lull you into not monitor space stats only
to find the errors you do eventually see are not so easily fixed.
