I see nothing wrong with Summons traveling between map areas. What kind of sense does it make to say that you can summon a pack of Kobolds in the Umar Hills, but they can't follow you into the cave? Is there some Anti-Kobold Field protecting the entrance? On long-range journeys (such as the trek to Windspear), they'd just be Unsummoned anyway.

No, I think as long as the player observes the rules and only lets them do what Summons should be able to do (imagine Ctrl-Qing a Glabrezu and having it enter stores & do your shopping for you!), everything should be perfectly fair.

Drawback: While Summons are in your party, they suck up your EXP.
