No disadvantage at all. Three string phrasing offers a lot of flexibility. Four string chording is great but not a requirement by any stretch. Once I figured out how to move three string chording around (lower range and higher range) that changed everything for me. The advantage of playing violin in my opinion, and I don't play it myself, may be that you have a lot of knowledge in voicing to accompany other instruments and vocals using even two string chords of root and 3rd, 3rd and 5th, or 5th and root octave depending on what you're looking for. Experiment with chords and how you want to play them.
