What are the disadvantages?

I don't know of any disadvantages yet.
In https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/autoland/rev/d82b6476a18d it was only left disabled because it crashed VAAPI:

(In reply to tgn-ff from comment #67)

When I enable media.rdd-ffmpeg.enabled (to get VAAPI working), the RDD process crashes(1). Is this currently expected?

Yes, that's why it's disabled by default.

  • bug 1698778 has been fixed, VAAPI/RDD works now.
  • Setting media.rdd-ffmpeg.enabled to true is required for H264 via VAAPI.
  • bug 1743926 tracks some edge cases, it blocks enabling VAAPI for affected users, but it doesn't block enabling media.rdd-ffmpeg.enabled.
