I don't see any downside at all if it's layered on top of some other (very capable) keyboard-driven UI that can do all the same things.
The downside is that no existing tech company has enough self-control to actually keep these kinds of recordings private.
That's why we need something open-source and self-hosted.
Several such solutions already exist. Problem is, only folks like us mess around with it. Non-geeks, not so much.
