I believe so. You also lose repeat on the home row keys because they become modifiers when held. It’s a trade off, but one that many people make since repeated key presses is not as useful as the mod keys. Same is true for people who remap caps lock: they give up a lesser used feature for something more useful for their specific preference. Of course once you get into keyboard customization you can start doing things like map caps lock to escape when pressed alone, control when pressed in combination with another key and maybe make shift + caps lock activate caps lock. Depends on what you need and what you’re trying to accomplish.
