The drawbacks of set mining in poker are:

Set mining is no longer a viable strategy to build an entire poker strategy around.. Winning at poker isn't all about proper fundamental strategy. It may not always be profitable to bet with a small pocket pair in any position for the sole purpose of flopping a set. Small pair set mining in deep stack NLH games can be risky.
Set mining does come with limitations.
Calling with a small pocket pair can put you at a positional disadvantage.
Set mining odds are trashed if you have to put in 1/6 of the deep stacks pre-flop. Set mining defense deprives you of the many advantages of a larger stack.

Therefore, the potential drawbacks of set mining in poker include it not being a profitable strategy in some situations, not being a reliable way to win games, and potentially putting the player at a disadvantage in terms of their position and chip stack.
