As I said in my opening post - it does some harm. When you use file synchronization or version-control your library, every author name or book title change turns unexpectedly costly (in terms of network traffic or disk storage)
The problem is not in the name format, but in its strict dependency on metadata.

Longer file folder names can be a bit of a pain

In fact I happened to get "file name too long" errors when I tried moving my library deeper in my directory hierarchy, but there I exaggerated a bit in a book title, so it is not that important.
Well, Kovid said his opinion and I am to live with it.
