I don't agree. There is one pro, and not a small one IMO if you use
closures a lot: skip use().

Since arrow functions have been introduced, I've several times naturally
tried to open braces, only to remember that it's not supported.
I love fn() for the fact that it doesn't require the use() statement, and
would love to see it extended to more than a simple expression.
