There isn’t really downside to split limbs other than they generally have less cross sectional area compared to a solid limb design. As long as they are engineered and manufactured properly that’s really not an issue. What they DO allow is increased preload which is evident by many of the “beyond parallel” designs you see today. Also, many are connected with yokes as well which can increase the tuning options for a bow and as Low Fence referenced cam lean.
Case in point: My e35 is an awesome bow and uses a solid limb design. Lucky the bow has pretty good nock travel out of the box because the only real option is the start shimming cams. Once again proving nothing is perfect, you just have to work within the confines of the system.
