The OP asked the following question looking for drawbacks or things to take into consideration other than the bolded text:

So far, in fine BF tradition, almost everyone has basically commented on the bolded text.

To answer the OP. If the brakes line up, the tires clear each frame set and the cassettes line up, so the shifting works, there is no problem. Wheel swaps take one or two minutes once you work out a system for supporting the bike, like a bike stand or pads. People with SS/FG flip flop wheel sets remove and reverse their rear wheels on the road as a design feature.

It's not rocket surgery.
