It is only a good solution to run one emacs and multiple clients if
you don't ever run anything that ties emacs up. If emacs is doing
something or waiting for a process to complete, you often cannot work
on any other buffers under that instance of emacs. I don't like not
being able to update my calendar because gnus is checking my mail, for
example.

This is a disadvantage, but a minor one to me. I segregate tasks
under different instances of emacs, so it doesn't happen much.
