The big problem I experienced personally is the total lack of PDC on automation. If you need a filter to bypass right on the drop, you're going to have a bad time. That's a good enough reason for me to never use Ableton.
Others complain about general MIDI/audio jitter when using lots of non-realtime plugins. Apparently things just wont be sample accurate anymore, for whatever reason. Most people probably don't notice this in general use. I didn't. However, it would obviously limit your ability to do advanced mixing tricks and could cause all kinds of phase problems.
Lastly, Ableton seems to have PDC problems with lots of plugins in general. I think any plugin that doesn't have a fixed delay won't work properly, but you'd need to confirm that. I remember a dev talking about this. It's a really shitty problem, because they end up having to set the delay to the maximum, even if the plugin isn't actually using it. For example, a compressor with 200ms maximum lookahead set to 10ms lookahead should only need to report 10ms. In Ableton, I believe it would need to report 200ms, because it can't change dynamically. This obviously really sucks for anyone doing actual recording.
After years of being the Ableton poster boy, Deadmau5 switched to Cubase because of these problems, so it's not just whiners on the internet.
