That would be like adding a dependancy on Lua extension for reusers, as the core templates will be implemented in Lua.
Yes, that would be the major disadvantage I can see. In practice, nobody can reuse large chunks of Wikipedia content on shared hosting anyway, since it's way too big, but it would be a serious obstacle for people who want to reuse only parts of Wikipedia.
