Not really....Korgan, for instance, can use this weapon with near-total impunity. Sure, he'll take a pittance of damage from the Finger of Death every now & then, and he'll get Mazed just like anyone else, but that's only a problem if he was acting as a blocker for your weaker members at that specific moment. (And he's got a good INT, so he should be back pretty soon anyway.)

The only real drawbacks are the chance of losing items through the Disintegrate & Flesh to Stone, and the total negation of Magic Resistance, which would only be a barrier to people like Viconia or a Wizard Slayer.
