What's wrong with hibernating and suspending? It's been two months since I last rebooted my Linux laptop, I typically only do it when upgrading the kernel. I agree it would be nice to keep session state after a reboot, but it's a very minor annoyance. Some window managers such as i3, do at least let one persist window configurations.

Nothing, other than that it 1) may not work on all hardware and 2) slightly increases battery drain.

Suspend (to disk) can be slow on some hardware -- moreso than rebooting. Though it preserves state.
