Do you know if there's any disadvantage on using the Futamura projections to generate a compiler? Harder to maintain? Some optimizations are harder to express this way?

I have some experience writing compiler optimization passes and working on JITs, but I have not worked on an interpreter that uses Futamura's projections to generate a compiler.
