Has anyone actually run some tests to see how much things slow down? The 
threshold for "reporting" slowness or sluggishness (which I guess the 
downsides from this would be) is pretty high, in my experience.

It might make some things less complex, but if it comes with a significant 
(though negligible by itself) overhead, I'm not sure if it is a great idea 
(since the problem this new approach is solving is already solved 
satisfactorily by the current approach and tools, without the added overhead).
