Integrating REST services using Javascript actions

1
Our Mendix application is largely based on integrating an external REST (well, JSON) API. As such, pretty much our whole domain model is made up of non-persistent entities and we have many microflows for calling the REST services. Separately  we have also developed a rich Javascript client for this REST API based on Mobx/mobx-state-tree and the Fetch API.   Since Mendix 8 we can write Javascript actions and we are considering shifting all the data fetching logic to the browser by integrating our JS client. Would there be any disadvantages / gotchas to this approach?

Other than losing a bunch of functionality Mx has worked out for you I do not see a reason not too. I would weigh the benefits vs the cons though.  As I do think you would lose speed in developement especially if only a small part of your team is capable of handling the JS custom code.
