Why not? Any problems?

Anna? What Anna? Once you tried Belle, you will not want to go back... even the Beta works better, smooth; It makes Symbian users alive again (brings back the fun?), wants to meddle with the phone again, but there's a lot of Android and Maemo touches here and there.
Just too bad it came very late... wait, let me re-phrase, it's not yet available officially; But it's definitely something good that should be made available soon (Android owners may not be happy with the many similarities), and they should allow global firmware to be used (unless there is specific country regulations (e.g. FM Transmitter disable).

Anyway, Belle seems like a good improvement for Symbian; Honestly, I don't find much from Anna actually, but Belle there's quite drastic changes.

That said, do it at your own risk, or wait for the official update.

It's not actually disadvantages; One just need to understand the problem and consequences (e.g. focus plane level).

For small sensor size camera, this is less of an issue, unless maybe you shoot macro mode, which can have more narrow depth of field. It also depend on the macro capability of the lens.

The focus and re-compose is more apparent on DSLR, which have much more bigger sensor and the usage of big aperture lens. The DOF can be very thin especially shooting at close distance, worst if the lens supports macro.

It's not actually disadvantages, it's more like need to understand how it works and compensate for it, rather than blame the technique is not good.
Example: on same focus plane level, it's not really an issue, but let's say you tilt your camera 45 degrees, then you focus close up on the subject, then you recompose for whatever rule of third or you want the subject to the on the sides of the photo; The focus plane has now shifted, or actually your subject is now out of the focus plane, what you need to do is to move forward/backward a little so the subject are back in the focus plane. Using digital camera is easy, you can see it from the LCD. With DSLR, you will face more problem as the viewfinder is so tiny and you can hardly see what is in focus.

This is also a very old technique, especially for those DSLR (or old DSLR) which have less focus point, or when they need to rely on the cross-type sensor for more accurate focus, or simply any basic camera with only one center focus point.

So fast back to Belle? Already get over the N9 fever?
