Not just that, but their game is mildly more resource hungry than it could be because of the large MT state space, and depending on the exact nature of how many rolls/cards are expected per game and what is done with them MT could yield "unnatural" games at a highly elevated frequency which might play significantly differently from a physical counterpart.

I mostly agree though, the downsides are minor and/or rare if you aren't defending against attacks to the PRNG.
