There are sometimes when you ca6n go to charge the device that it thinks it's connected to a computer when it's not and it would then connect automatically and you would not be able to read while charging. Also, I'm not sure what would happen if you unplug the device while in connect mode. Would it cause the database to become corrupt because it wasn't properly ejected?

So really, applying the DeveloperSettings - AutoUsbGadget: patch is a bad idea if you want to be able to read while charging.
There are absolutely no issues with unplugging when it is in this mode. The issue is if PC mounted the drive and didn't disconnect properly. And it depends on the charger. And the convenience of not having to remember to tap the connect button each time you plug the device in.

And as will most things, it is a personal preference that the person who uses it can make a decision about.
