Any downsides to this?

Technically probably not.
Does iBooks cater for calibre's metadata, in particular Series and any custom columns you might want.
Why don't you create a new library, copy some books into it and try it out. Downsides are likely to be procedural and you can probably overcome them by adjusting the workflow.
You could also use the Command Line functions then you wouldn't have a library to worry about.
