The reason baffles are used is so the blow in insulation does not cut off the air flow coming in from the soffit vents. If you are satisfied that your batts provide enough flow at the eves then call it good. This assumes you have ventilation at the ridge, otherwise it will not be very useful.

What are the disadvantages of super insulation?

The main disadvantage of super insulation is cost. Super insulation requires more insulation material and may require greater depth in the construction to accommodate the insulating material, and therefore the construction costs for the building may be greater, both for the insulation and the other building materials. This may also change some construction details and add to the time required for construction, as the builder may not be as familiar with the details.
