If so, are there any other downsides?
You can still update. For jailbreakers, the bigger problem is actually preventing Amazon from automatically updating the device and potentially losing the jailbreak (or breaking compatibility of certain add-ons).

No downsides. The jailbreak itself is a tiny 272 byte key file. All it does is allow non-Amazon/unofficial stuff to run.

factory reset followed by firmware install = jailbreak gone
