That's situational. In many cases there'll be neither an advantage nor a disadvantage. But if you're losing information (like type:footnote) from an EPUB 3 by converting it to EPUB 2… well, that speaks for itself. In general I'd think no conversion whatsoever would be preferable.

Also, how would I set a custom rule to treat the footnote as an in-page footnote? Something like this?

Correct.

Correctly depends a bit on what you expect from it. In any event, it does something we like. By default, all of type note, endnote, footnote, rearnote, doc-note, doc-endnote, doc-footnote and doc-rearnote are displayed as in-page footnotes since we can be fully confident they're intended as notes. Users can disable that behavior to have them solely act as regular links but no distinction is made. Someone who really likes endnotes could create a custom style tweak but as far as I know nobody's ever asked for such a thing, and we unanimously find the concept of endnotes even more awkward on an ereader than it already is on paper. (Besides which, in practice we have both.)
Additionally users can enable Wikipedia footnotes (ol.references > li) as well as classic classname footnotes (an assortment of classes like .footnote; .footnote1 can probably be added to it but of course we don't want to add an endless array of numbers). These aren't enabled by default because there's no guarantee they're harmless on all documents. Many of us do enable those by default nonetheless.
