The main disadvantages of a reverse-thrust pushback include wear and tear on the terminal building, and the risk of foreign object damage as debris on the ramp is blown around and forward of the engine intakes.

It's known as a powerback and it's been in widespread use for many years. The
reason for it is to save on equipment (no tugs needed) and personnel, and you're ready for taxi immediately. As far as I know the only problem has been rolling too far backward and leaving the paved surface!
