All the projects that I have heard of implementing this experienced BIG, significant drops in upoads and copyvio uploads. Like, 1/2 as many afterwards. That is a big saving in admin maintenance work, even if you don't ever want to go to Commons-only. So I strongly recommend it.
I hate to see anyone from commons recommending this while we still do not have a handle on copyright violations on commons.
Our goal should be a reduction in the percentage of uploaded copyright infringements wikimedia wide, and I've yet to see evidence that switching things to commons improves the situation.
