The suggestion you are following is documented here
https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/cephfs/eviction/#advanced-configuring-blocklisting

As you mentioned rightly, it doesn't talk about the side effects if any.
But that said, it's kind of a workaround even if it works. Do we know the
exact reason for session eviction from the logs ?
It could be any of these things mentioned here
https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/cephfs/eviction/#automatic-client-eviction
