Seems like the biggest downside- seeking permission to be sovereign rarely works for long.
& it's not sovereignty in the first place. Host countries are still counting on the fact that they'll get to tax you one day, if not from the start. They still demand that their legal structure is applied to your city.
States simply DO NOT sell sovereignty. If you think you've found a historical example otherwise, look again. It's never full sovereignty.
