Cons
Con Not intended to be a daily driver
This distro was written for pen testing and security work. It is not meant to be a day-to-day OS (unless that's your job).
Con Very old packages
E.G. Firefox's current version is 61 but Kali linux consists of its 52th version. Though kernel is not that old.
Con Will not boot in multi-distro grub.
Con Support is not as maintained as "Official Releases of Manjaro"
Not as actively maintained as "KDE" or "XFCE" or "Gnome" editions since they are official releases and "Mate" is just a community spin-off of Manjaro that may be discontinued altogether.
Con Rolling release
Latest software may break the system.
