Any major reason not to?

Nope. Those GFCIs are a ripoff and really not needed. Just like paying insurance premiums, bi-annual visits to the dentist, annual physical exams, driver's education classes, safety settings on weapons and washing your hands before eating.
I'd go into more detail, but I'm in the middle of removing the nose guard safety springs on all of my nail guns.
