One major drawback I see with it, is that you can only backup that area with RMAN, and ONLY TO TAPE. So any backup-to-disk-to-tape strategies have to be adjusted for this. Let alone, various software used for backup (Enterprise level) doesn't support backing that up yet. ( i.e. HP Data Protector).
Well it is true that you can only backup the Flash recovery area to an SBT device which is a tape device unless you are using SBT_DISK I guess. I don't entirely understand your remarks though since the flash recovery area is primarily a backup to disk to tape strategy. Backup to the FRA then backup the FRA to tape.
