there's downsides of course like no TE and worse energy reduction, you're also not getting a gold skill (Rushing Gale but I heard it's bad) but in terms of scaling it is not that bad.
Failure protection doesn't really do /that/ much to begin with and event effect doesnt scale so drastically.
The sweetspot is definitely MLB R or 1/2LB SSR though, but I think even 0LB SSR can get you far enough and if you want to cheap out so you can borrow something else makes even 0LB attractive since the biggest other factor outside of events is reducing team size
