Not entirely true, you lose the performance gain maybe if you stopped
caching for pop3/imap side
there has been no performance degradation on the "delivery" side, and
deliver not updating caches has not affected in any noticable way how
the clients receive their mail.

That said, this is from  a purely pop3 stand point, in testing webmail,
no difference was noted either, I can not speak for those who consider
imap the primary use where it may or may not affect performance at a
noticeable level.

The only thing I see as a setback is (and again, I've not looked into
this so there may be a plain sight solution within postfix itself) no
sieve
support. This is why I myself some time ago asked about an added option
to deliver to ignore it and just deliver the darn message file, letting
pop3/imap discover any changed and do updates.
