The big disadvantage that I see with gwt-rpc is that it ties your client-side with your server-side code (if you change anything related to your models/rpc on the client side, you also have to update your serve-side code, otherwise, it will not work). To me that in itself is a big disadvantage. With something like REST APIs, your client and server side code remain decoupled, giving you more freedom.
