[SATLUG] downsides to rsyncing entire file system?

[Jeremy Mann]

Nope, we do it on several servers here and across the US. The only
thing that could possibly be a downside is the first time you run it,
it will take longer the first time. But once that's done, add
--no-whole-file to your rsync script and you'll just transfer the
changes instead of the whole file.
