We did what you are considering quite a bit this off season. There were no cons for us, although all the sensors are used by the SRX itself and we are getting informational values. Our RIO is almost bare this season!
The SRX manual talks quite a bit about update rates and monitoring the CAN bus for issues if you need to adjust the data rate back to the RIO for some reason.

Not true. You can do everything from within your robot code using the provided API.
