Being able to get feedback can be both a pro and a con, depending on the nature of the feedback.

Sometimes you can use information asymmetry to your advantage; thinking in public may work against that.

For sure thinking in public can be a form of marketing, especially if you are self-employed, like I am.

Having said all that, I've been writing a public blog since 2006, and have 39 repositories in GitHub, most of which are public, and that is a form of thinking in public as well. So I guess I cast my vote on the issue a while ago. I try to be authentic, honest, true to my values, open to change, and be the best person I can be, when I share my opinions.
