I can't think of any downside to rooting, just upsides like having a faster, smoother running rom without all the bloatware that gets put on them stock, plus you unlock features like hot spot and tethering, only thing I will say is to make sure that you do a nandroid so that if something gets messed up or you loose your wimax rsa keys that you will have a back-up of them.
There are a few roms that are just like stock without the bloatware, just read a lot and watch some youtube videos to see how the process is done if you haven't already.
