Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

Other than weight, there should be no problems with using the adjustable stem long term. I suppose you could wear out the adjustment interface if you changed the angle every day but I presume you will find the setting you prefer and leave it there. Once you get the desired configuration you may be able to find a matching and lighter fixed stem but there is no reason to be compelled to do so.
