I agree whole-heartedly.

There are very few drawbacks to serving directly from the filesystem (only one I can think of, which has to do with access control to the content),

Sometimes the static content shouldn't be accessible at a permanent URL for security reasons.

Agreed. Lighttpd has X-SendFile header that is good to use in cases like this. nginx has similar behaviour under a different header name, and there is an Apache module that gives X-SendFile to Apache users.
