One additional concern, I suppose, is that even with weather sealed bodies, the mirrorless cameras are much more prone to or at risk for sensor damage. Changing lenses is generally pretty fast, but every second the sensor is exposed leaves it open to dust getting on it. The mirror in DSLRs does a pretty significant job of protecting the sensor when there is no lens attached.
