The down side would be splitting the wood.

A weaker bite.

To that I can only say that I ordered 2000 Kreg screws all told - three different sizes and styles - and remarked here that that was "more than I'd ever need". Several people chuckled, even knowing that I'm an occasional weekend "woodworker" at best. In a couple of months I've gone through over 100. They're pretty handy, even in non-pocket applications. And it looks like that style and size may be hard to find.
I have probably purchased 5 times that many over the years and will agree that you can't have too many, so to speak. I probably use pocket hole screws for other uses 80% of the time. The Kreg pocket hole screws are superior screws that meet many more needs than just being used in pocket holes.

If they're the same type 17 tips, you probably won't have a problem with splitting the wood. I'd sure want to use a screw lube on them, though.

Here you go, fine thread Kreg pocket hole screw in box of 100. $4.99. 5 cents each.

Lube them with wax and nothing. Don't and they might not make it in. Although most cherry is not that hard, not like maple.
fine thread is a staple for Kreg...
Actually Kreg fine thread screws only go up to 1.5". To go longer you have to go with a coarse thread, longer coarse threaded screws are more for the softer thicker construction grade materials.
Yes, but he said 1.5 was good, thats a regular item.
