I dont think there is a downside. You just have to choose what works for what you intend to do.
For rides that I dont intend to get off the bike for more than a few minutes I may take the bike I use road shoes with. If I go on a casual ride or something else and know I will get off the bike walk a bit then I will take the bike I use mtb shoes with.
Other than that, road pedals and shoes are more comfortable for long rides
