PulseAudio is some kind of mixer/proxy between ALSA and desktop
applications. In modern GNU/Linux OSes it's discouraged to remove/not
using PulseAudio.

Are there any serious disadvantages doing so?

If you don't use PulseAudio then only one application can use an ALSA
device at the same time on your computer. Even some applications support
PulseAudio only.

Why don't you want to use PulseAudio, any problems?

Kind regards
