IMO the only negatives about a low mount set are needing a scavenge pump, and physical space....and possibly air filters.
None of which are really that bad as all have been overcome with perfectly good results

But low mounts allow for a great downpipe exit, they keep heat away from the engine compartment, makes no real difference to manifolds. And it leaves engine maintenance access for plugs etc as per factory.
Some of the top mounts are terrible in that respect.

And even to remove a low mount pair....it will literally take minutes because access to the manifold bolts are a doddle.

I'd say there are more benefits for a low mount set than there are high mounted, from functional and performance point of view.

If it's visual impact you want, then obviously a high mount pair win that
