It introduces additional failure points for a potential oil leak. I wouldn't be so worried about a slow drip, that is usually easy to catch, but a quick dump of oil can cause catastrophic engine damage.

Agree with Penguin that oil drain plugs really don't need much improvement for the limited use they get.

Now, if you wanted to install a sampling port for a regular oil sampling program, that would be useful.
