What's the disadvantage of getting a higher stage clutch than you need?

Drivability sp?

The racing clutches will engage harder, making for a rougher overall drive.

Serious clutch upgrades are like on/off switches. Makes rush hour traffic a *****. Pedal pressure is usually much higher.

As the clutch gets stronger, it's raises the potential for engine or drivetrain damage if you shift hard.

Longevity is also a concern.
