The link itself will also have some additional downsides. The officical cable is fiber optic and those are fragile so you have to be more careful not to step on or roll over it. The encoding will have some performance impact though I expect Oculus is pushing that as low as possible. The image quality will also be slightly reduced, mostly on the peripheries as they had to make sacrifices because uncompressed it was too much data for USB-C. That also begs the question of whether higher than 72Hz is even possible as the link may be the bottleneck in that scenario.
