I am a SM and a dev and it's not at all a comfortable position to be in, because it's often making demands on my time and there are conflicts of interest (but not as bad as SM/PO or SM/manager).

The SM is major piece of the Scrum puzzle and a lot of practices lose their value if the SM is not paying attention.

This over-reliance on the SM is a minus for Scrum IMO.
