A) Its pretty hardcore for street use. It never unlocks like Clutch types do so if you get into trouble you can't just push in the clutch. It will cause the inside tire to skip when going around corners.
B) It will make the car understeer entering corners and generally feel really weird compared to LSDs. This doesnt matter on drift cars becuase if your entering far enough back you wont have entry understeer.
C) People that dont know what they're talking about say you'll break axles, which is false. I know at least 10 people with welded diff 240s that have never had problems. The only way to break axles with a welded diff is HUGE tire and Horsepower, which will break things reguardless. You can however snap the welds, which is usually due to crappy welding. for about 200$ bucks you can get the "weld locked" diff from some guy in cali which is bullet proof... some guy apparently ran it without any gear oil and it was still going strong.
I'll be getting a welded diff after I break in my new motor and get most of the kinks sorted out.
