You can't use Google Wallet to pay with NFC, they don't have Miracast, and Chromecast can supposedly work but I haven't been able to get it to work. Those are the three major hurdles I've found, but getting away from Google was a priority so I'll live without them.
NFC can have other providers other than Google Wallet, but I haven't found any that I find trustworthy enough yet. Supposedly the EU is making an alternative.
I think this is about what I've heard to date on drawbacks, by as you mentioned, I think I'll take the chance for the privacy benefits.
The EU already has alternatives, quite a few banks have their own NFC implementations.
Fair. Unfortunately, mine don't.
Not yet. They have QR, and are working on NFC.
