The downside I can think of is NH would only recognize you as UA*G, it is fine when you have all NH segments, but if you have UA and CO segments mix in the itnerary. It would only show in the UA/CO system show as UA*G instead your real UA status, hence you lose the priority for upgrades like UDU or op up. Worst scenario, you may not even eligible for UDU at all since it is a codeshare, though I am not 100% sure.
