The downsides are (1) it can interfere with rear brake pad positioning if you switch between cogs of different sizes; and (2) it can make the tire crowd the brake bridge. This happened to me on the ** cut down, dremeled, hacksawed, mutilated Rivendell ** fixed gear conversion (my '94/5 Waterford 26" Road): snow would pack up under the fender at the bridge. Of course, I fixed that by rotating the ENO the other way.
I also took a big rattail file to the vertical dropouts of that DiamondBack mtb to allow the ENO to accomodate a 3 t difference. But you have to be careful that you file evenly -- a tiny error in symmetry will make the wheel cockeyed. (There is a metaphysical idea skulking in there somewhere, something about a tiny error in the beginning leading to a major awkwardness in remote effects blah blah blah blah...).
