advantages would be no preloading of suspension at assembly, and the obvious shake elimination.
disadvantages would be more road noise transmission, and in my mind questionable longevity, due to the fact that the urethane is now also a bearing, wearing against the sleeve. How long before the urethane wears and gets sloppy? How many years / miles do you think before this becomes an issue?
