Heavier? Marginally.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Less aero? Maybe. I'd like to see figures for real world drag.
More finiky to adjust? They're self adjusting. Fail.
Don't stop your bike any quicker? Now you've lost it completely.
You forgot to add discs work when wet. Something rims are still ridiculed for.
ITT -watch out for people commenting on cable discs. They're not fit for purpose much more than rims are.
