You don't see the rolling effect because it is only a half electronic shutter. When the shutter closes or stops as an electronic aperture does is when you get the motion artifacts. That's when the sensor starts reading out. With a mechanical shutter it just closes and starts reading off the sensor. With electronic it reads the sensor in chunks. First curtain is possibly going to have more noise, but probably not really since you are already in live view and the sensor is active. If anything the electronic shutter might help with vibrations. I don't see any major disadvantage there really.
