Disadvantages of using newer Eero as node vs gateway?

I currently have 2 Pro 6E units and have purchased a 7 Pro, with the goal of getting an additional 7 Pro in the near future. Currently where my ISP(1Gb) comes into my house, there are not many WiFi clients, so around 70% of the devices end up connecting to the second gateway(wired backhaul 2.5Gb).

Until I purchase my other 7 Pro, would there be any disadvantages of using the 7 Pro as my secondary node and keeping my 6E as the gateway? I currently run the ISP into the 1Gb port on the 6E as that’s what package I’m limited to anyway, and then utilize the 2.5 port to 2.5 switches for local traffic due to local steam transfers/NAS traffic.
