I am assuming that the power supply meets your voltage/current requirements.
The other disadvantage that you mentioned was the potential mixup in the
DIN connectors. You also need to verify that the lack of trimability
won't be a problem
with your load.

A couple more things to look at ---  Is there a minimum load?
What is the response to faults like a short circuit. Make sure you
select protection
based upon the amount of current your circuit will draw.
