I think it's a disadvantage to skip your blinds and post when the button has passed. 1) You miss 2 opportunities to see a flop cheaply and hit a big, but disguised hand. 2) you miss playing a hand in the best position, and 3) when you post behind, 1/3 or more of the money you post is dead, so even in a pot where you check with limpers, you're putting up 150% of the bet your opponents need to put up to see the flop.

Missing the button and posting dead money to me at the very least offsets not being dealt in twice out of position.
