Here are three more:

4. If you, or someone else, decide to globally update formats by using the
Paragraph Designer, there's no option to keep page break overrides. You're
informed that there are overrides, but you either have to keep them all
or delete them all.

5. When you edit a document and the content shifts, so does the page breaks.
If you use page break overrides, you may miss the fact that a page break
that now appear slightly too early is because of such an override, and you
forget to change it. If you, for instance, use a colored page break tag,
you will much easier spot the manual page breaks that need to be corrected.

6. Suppose your manual page breaks are indications of some structure in
your document that you wish to keep or transfer when you generate a list
or TOC, or when converting to another format. If that's the case, you can
use the PageBreak format to accomplish this, if you don't want to use
special tags indicating "top of page" status.
