Are there any disadvantages compared to using Calibre's "Convert books" besides the fact that conversions must be done one book at a time?
The main disadvantage is that because it bypasses the built in conversion mechanism of calibre it does not allow any of the optional handling that calibre can perform, such as changing the layout or updating metadata.

The advantage is that the internal formatting of the resulting EPUB will better match the book as published. That can make a significant difference for books that use fixed-layout formatting since that is not supported by calibre and using calibre's conversion on such a book will typically result in an unreadable mess.
