The only real downside I can see is the looks of the thing. I'm also unsure how you could assess the car computer functions without the stock deck.
Check this out: Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.3

I think it will do everything you want. Sum the front 6 speaker level outputs into a full range R&L front channel line level outputs, a rear channel full range line level output, and a stereo sub line level output. Full crossover network capability, EQ and time alignment with a 31-band parametric equalizer on each channel. It's all configurable and controllable from a laptop. I think this would be fantastic for our cars. Allows you to keep the integration with the NAV screen and also allows for additional inputs including Bluetooth.
