The main downside is that by nature the device names are not familiar

necessary price to pay (biosdevname names look similar).
The stability of these names appears to be an illusion.
The "path based names" use the PCI bus number as their "root". PCI bus
numbers are dynamically allocated as the bios enumerates the busses.
Note that biosdevname uses slot numbers, not PCI bus numbers.
The following provides technical details on how biosdevname enumerates:
