Were you planning on making or buying the wheels ? Either way, make sure the rollers don't have high bearing friction when under load. Make sure the wheels are either protected from impact, or are tough enough to take a hit without deforming and binding up the rollers. Also, consider using closed-loop wheel speed control for better fine control of the robot with mecanum wheels. With mecanum wheels, it is important that all four wheels are sharing the weight of the vehicle because each of the four wheels must generate forces to get the desired vehicle motion. So I suppose it is possible for your frame to be
too stiff.
