I think you meant to say that there's a downside to converting them to APFS. HFS+ gives the most flexibility, works with old and new OS versions.

Holding with Sierra for the moment. Maybe my next Mac will have Mojave etc.

Early testers seem to really like the interface in Mojave.
If Apple can fix the video problems; and the wacky APFS performance problems (especially with FileVault enabled); and the fill-your-drive-with-invisible-snapshots problem; and the disk-space reporting problem; and the weird window-refresh problems; and the GPU crashes; and the USB display driver problem; and the failure to disclose how hosed your system is going to be if you leave that checkbox checked for Desktop and Documents sync and that other checkbox in the storage options that pushes your files to the cloud without your knowledge when drive-space gets low; and if they manage not to introduce a bunch of new root vulnerabilities and other bugs; and if they bring the Disk Utility back up to par; and if they fix all the problems with SMB and ACLs and unexpected disconnects and failure to refresh windows where another user has changed the contents of a folder on a server; and if they refresh the server-platform instead of killing it then it might be a pretty good operating system.
Of course, I may be missing something.

So long as target disc mode is still disabled, I'll pass unless I'm forced to use the new file format.
