I've used it (in testing) and I think the main reasons it's "less recommended" is that it's easier to keep a single copy consistant on shared storage as it's automatic. However the method you mention must be kept consistant manually. I don't think there is any greater risk for data loss other than that. Others may know more tho...

More precisely, if using this method correctly by managing the consistency of the configuration file over all nodes, is there any greater risk of data corruption than with a shared volume archive or a server ? I am in the special case where i don't want to manage another shared volume, and this option, although less documented, seems better to me. Documentation only tells that it is "less recommanded".
