Only place I could see being an issue is if you have ripped a lot of your own music in Lossless or a higher bitrate than 256.
yup, I should have said that. I have thousands of items, and am not in the slightest bit interested in debugging duplicates;) Many of them are live recordings I could not get again.
Match only downloads their copies if it matches them to something in the iTunes store. If you upload something it doesn't recognise, you get your original file. But it's all so hit and miss and a lot of my stuff is irreplaceable. I already have complex mechanisms for when (not if) iTunes/Music decides to simply remove albums from my library (about once every couple of months I realise something is missing entirely and go to my copy of it). I've also become wary of buying one song from an album as it will randomly swap it for a different song on the same album (rare but it's happened to me).
It's a shame iTunes killed off the competition because it's so bad at what it does.
