The only major problem with reamping is that the guitarist doesn't have the ability to interact with the amp itself. Good amps almost play themselves. Its a bigger deal on "feel-based" playing, such as leads, funky rhythm playing, and blues.

The only other big issue is easy enough to overcome. A little bit of feedback at the tail end of notes clearly suggests the guitar player is in the same room as the amp, and it is loud. Reamping (or just recording in the control room) can't do that. Set up a little practice amp near the player to get the strings to feed back, but don't record the amp.

I don't deal with many uber-pro musicians, so usually if they change their mind concerning the sound, they can probably play the part better at a later time anyway. Running a secondary DI just isn't worth the 5 minutes or the channel it takes up. I use reamping mostly for those late night location songwriting sessions with easily annoyed neighbors, but that isn't exactly a studio environment. I've also been having a bandmember (that lives about 1k miles away, and doesn't have the means to do good guitar recordings at his apartment) send me DI tracks, and then I can reamp and mic them here. Beats listening to a peavey bandit miced with an sm48.
