A good firewall (very much like the one in your NAT-box) hides the private network as well as NAT does.

Advantage is that you don't need all this bandaids to get stuff working. And when something new comes along, you don't need to buy other bandaids.

Disadvantage: we need to do some work for the transition.

I think the advantages for outweigh the disadvantages.
