The downsides, I never seen any of these guys even in a perfect setup get over 200Mbps, so if your expecting more speed dont. I have not tested or playied with the latest and greatest versions of these plugs. I know some people were luckier than I and have achieved around 350-400Mbps with their setups which is pretty great.
Also the speed gets effected by factors such as how long of a electrical run you have, and also how new your wiring is.
As mentioned has to be on the same circuit to work properly if not you have to daisy chain circuits, which would require multiple sets of these. When you jump circuits it would lower performance a lot more. So proper expectations.
To put things into perspective the most demanding thing anyone can do on their internet connection that's a home user is stream 4K content and that requires about a 40-50Mbps connection on average to the single device. If your gaming, that requires barely anything, same thing for streaming 1080p content, or music.

Technology may have evolved these days though.
I always thought it would work within a breaker panel, so typically a whole house.

I'm on same circuit and get >=300/300 out of the box but 300/300 is the max of my FIOS so actual intranet speeds could be higher.
Wi-Fi speed to internet on same machine is around 200.
Both are more than adequate for streaming but I hooked it up so that file transfers to/from NAS are quicker.
