The only drawback I can see is the risk of malicious downvoting, but I don’t have a feeling for how high that risk is.
Others can always upvote back to zero.
If comments are downvoted fast enough, they’re unlikely to be seen by people who might want to upvote them.
I guess, but that’s already the case for the main site.
I think there are enough of us who read practically every comment to counteract this sort of thing.
