As the others mentioned, the drawbacks are significant, but another thing that is a deterrent are the valve spring seat and over the nose pressures that will be needed, and as someone eluded to the maintenance of adjusting valve lash frequently. I run hydraulic roller lifters on all of my street driven hot rods.
