As Boisy points out, the downsides of using /dd/sys/env.file:

Since it's on disk, accessing "environment variables" is slow on a
floppy-only system.

It's global, rather than per-process.

Very few programs are env.file aware.

There's no interaction between env.file and Shell+'s internal
variables.
