I'm aware that the information won't come up on a lot of players, but is there any downside to including it anyway?

As Darius says, you have to be very careful to make sure the client approves the CD-TEXT. When they attend, I have them look it over before I burn the master, plus the text is on the CD cover so if they did make a mistake, they will notice it later and can still correct it.
Clients not attending get an email with the CD-TEXT and don't get a master sent without approving the text. That way, if any mistakes are made and a new mater has to be cut, they can't (and usually don't) argue about paying for it.
On the technical side, accents don't show up properly so we leave them out plus other characters like "&" may not either. After I write a master, checking the CD-TEXT via software is one of the proofing process I do.
