We each have our own routes, with our own priority, so it's hard to pinpoint the exact benefits. But, clearly, the extra 5,000 from Qum in Stineford can be fruitful under some circumstances (315,000 extra ProN at the end of Chapter 4 according to my calculation in my default route). This choice can also be a pure loss with a wrong strategy (for example, if the extra money is eaten by the Deed costing more).

To answer the original question, if by "REAL downside", you mean something truly irreparable, like missing a unique collectible once and for all, then the answer is indeed "Not at the moment".
