Not really, you lose the remote app on your phone, which is useful to enter passwords, but using the voice dictation to enter a password a character at a time works surprisingly well.

You'd also not have airplay and mirroring. That might be a bigger deal for some, but for me, it's a feature I basically never use.

The YouTube apps on Android and iOS support streaming to the Apple TV YouTube app, which seems to be the bulk of what my guests and I want to actually stream. If you have a local media library, or tend to want to stream your computer screen to your TV for unsupported media/sources (or for plain mirroring), lack of AirPlay might be more important to you.
