Minuses: probably voids your tile warranty (check); has to be redone every few years; doesn't keep out all dirt (kitty can soak through pretty easily).

That being said, I'd say go for it. BTW, to clean the grout, I've found the Clorox bleach pens do a marvelous job. Tedious, but works like a charm.
Many years ago a wise sage shared this with me, never use white or beige grout. Impossible to keep clean with or without sealer.
