Is there any disadvantage to having Row IDs in a sheet? If not, why not make it automatic for every sheet/table that’s created in Glide and call it a day? Airtable does this, no?

yeah, I’ve gotten into the habit of adding a RowID as soon as I create a new sheet/table. I inevitably find myself needing USC’s, so I just add the RowID at the start. I can’t think of any reason why you wouldn’t want a RowID?
