Aside from the initial download, I think the other concern is wearing out the drive. I believe the lifespan of SSDs is much better compared to HDD when a lot of writes happen. Of course, the bulk of the writes happen initially during synchronization, but you’re still going to be writing a lot of data over time. Something to keep in mind, but probably not a deal breaker
