Say goodbye to almost all punctures, and the ability to ride at lower pressure due to not having to worry about pinch flats. Tires are therefore more fexible so lower rolling resistance (at least in theory).
Flipside is an increase in regular maintenance and potential startup cost, possibility of a tire blowing off and dumping your on the ground. It's pretty fully accepted with the MTB crowd at this point, similar to 29ers. Road bikes have the set up, but mostly in 23-25mm size racing tires. The all-road market is left out of the above consideration, although there has been interest for 650B bikes thanks to PJWeigle setting up Hetres and Lieres. https://www.flickr.com/photos/49353569@N00/ The middle volume 700C application hasn't really been done, or at least not discussed much.
