The only disadvantage I'm seeing is the pure fact, that everyone crumbles in Uldah and Gridania/Limsa Wards are more or less empty.

I dunno what effort it would be to connect those 3 Wards into one. But once we getting Airships and better travel chances, the connection between those 3 cities are better. So a workaround would be an airship already.

But all in the all I'm happy with the wards, cept the crashing :O

(I hope there will be new update notes today ;3 )
