Roy, we are using the TAPI on my current project, and haven't seen any significant disadvantages (I'm the DBA, so I would know). Performance is fine. I don't think the number of triggers should be an issue as long as your SYSTEM tablespace is correctly sized. To me, the advantages of generated code far outweigh the possibility that the code isn't the most compact.
