My first 2 thoughts are wind and punctures. That one comment right on the link makes it sound like they had no issue with wind, but who knows about what more wind would do. 20mph is pretty good though. I'd be worried that a puncture would ruin it. I used to worry the same about thermarests, and it's been a decade of use without punctures. Though a popped sleeping pad is manageable, but a tent that won't stay up is not. At >5 lbs, the no-poles design isn't saving you any weight or packing any smaller than lighter tents though. Personally, I'd stay far away from this one. It's got risks, is costly, and the only benefit I see is not having to figure out where to pack poles, but many tents have shorter pole sections now anyway.
