No drawbacks. I've been using it heavily for many, many years. Came out in
5.10.1,

We moved our minimum to 5.14 fairly recently, so we're good on that point.
Yeah, but only recently. I'm a little worried about the value of this
change relative to the amount of code churn involved, and more to the
point I worry about the risk of future back-patches injecting bad code
into back branches that don't use autodie.
(Back-patching the use of autodie doesn't seem feasible, since before
v16 we supported perl 5.8.something.)
Yeah, good points. I suppose we could start using it for completely new
scripts.
