The drawbacks are that you constantly have to sit in town, deal with idiots, everyone hates you, and have the threat of being kicked out for one mistake looming over your head. Is that worth it for vigilance and the arbiter shield, instead of going to battle where you get far better powers? I'm only saying that this is probably the cause of the low numbers of Arbiters, people saying 'Hey, X cabal gets more powers and less annoying restrictions' and thus joining X cabal.
