If I'm correct, it will send non-recursive queries to the listed servers and
will honor delegations. I've tested this configuration in our lab and it all
appears to be working.
With our configuration, are there any downsides to changing from forward zones
to static-stub?
Type static-stub should work great here. Type stub, which has been around since
before I started managing DNS servers (a very long time now), would probably
also have worked.

I've been asked why I don't just make these slave zones. It seems like
a good idea and would reduce the amount of traffic to the authoritative
servers.
Any negatives in converting to slave zones from "forward" or
"static-stub"? The authoritative servers send a NOTIFY when records
have changed so the caching servers would refresh their zones.
