The biggest pro would be it can pull as many G’s as the airframe can stand, i.e., far more than a human can take. The biggest con is what happens if it’s hacked/jammed? No longer loyal/usable.
I would think that these guys are pretty sophisticated in that they know when they are being hacked/jammed. They then go into AI mode, complete the mission as originally defined and then go home.

unlike most drones this one has AI so jamming won’t work even if it had to rely on external signals (this factor has largely been mitigated in current weapons systems); hacking goes along with jamming so that too will be secure - at least from current methods.
The roles listed are not direct combat ones like dog fighting, but rater to take on the more dangerous roles in penetrating air defenses. Please read the article.
The biggest pro us not G-force but is the field interchangeable nose cone - it can accept many different missions or rather a group can preform many missions simultaneously without having to build many very expensive drones that do everything.
Please read the article.
...and the fact that it doesnt require all that volume for a cockpit plus the weight of all the equipment needed to keep the puny human alive.
