No more over-the-air updates, no more locked bootloader. Those are both significant security downgrades that usually come with rooting Android.
Edit: downvoters apparently dont know that the main rooting methods all modify the boot partition, which prevents OTA updates from succeeding. Updates are very important to protect your phone with security patches against zero days and other vulnerabilities. Likewise modifying the bootloader requires unlocking it - which means no more secure boot and anyone who takes your phone can happily boot whatever they like on it. This is also bad.
what are the downsides of rooting?
My banking and government apps don’t run on rooted phones
