The downside of using hosted NIP-05 verification services like nostrverified and nostr-check is that they dump literally all their users in nostr.json - not great not terrible. Self host your own nostr.json, it's really not that hard.

When you don't self host you also miss out on the possibility to advertise your preferred relays
Whats the downside? It's all public info?
More of a faux pas than anything else, not in the spirit of the protocol. Also can't advertise relays, but I guess you can add support for that in the future
Dont see how this isnt in the spirit of the protocol. Anyone can login with your npub and see everthing you have done, even who you message with. Why is a public file with your public hexkey not in this spirit?

I ran into some difficulties. I set it up but for some reason it doesn't seem to be considered valid... Can't figure out what's wrong:
https://n.btcbb.me/.well-known/nostr.json set up with:
{ "names": { "bitcoinbellybutton": "npub1nemykkw0jtwaf4038vpcfv4g22r2qnfm66tsu90gjsjf68skphuqv6h5rp" } }
Any suggestions?
