What's the downside is a misguided question. There is now a new species that has no natural predator, and it has no natural source of food.
Either a predator that has never touched it before decides that it's the new delicacy, or it feeds on something that had never been fed on by something similar ever (and thus, has no defenses to it).
They may taste good, but like any invasive species, the short term (50 year) implications are not good.
