apart from webxr is there any disadvantage/advantage by changing from requestAnimationFrame to renderer.setAnimationLoop() ?

my old project was done with requestAnimationFrame and after adding webxr AR support i have switched to setAnimationLoop

so i as wondering if there were any disadvantage of setAnimationLoop when used in non webxr situation.

another way to phrase it would be
if all the examples from three js/examples are updated to use setAnimationLoop will they work as expected on all platforms?

Apart from WebXR using setAnimationLoop() is just syntax sugar right now.

setAnimationLoop will cancel the middle and right clicks on bluetooth mice connected to mobile/tablet, so if you had OrbitControls working with requestAnimationFrame, with setAnimationLoop it will stop working and you will not have zoom and pan from your mouse.
