Other than the concerns about slick roads, the biggest downside I see is the exhaust brake will cost you mpg's by interfering with your ability to coast. In the long run the diesel burnt will probably cost more than the brake pads saved.
Thats why the EB has an on/off switch. Some driver input does wonders with mileage and brake life, not to mention engine/transmission heat.
Happy motoring.
