I "bit the bullet" and adopted Musicbrainz style for classical. The drawbacks I've seen are
1. A certain amount of redundancy
2. Long "song" titles which are difficult to display in skins
3. Difficulty in providing a grouping / sorting by "work".
Some more minor difficulty in dealing with alias names.
I find "performer" tag better than eg ensemble, as it allows a more descriptive role. But it would be nice if there were an ability to group roles in a hierarchy -- I have performers with role of soprano, soprano I, soprano II which I would like to be able to group together. I also have a problem where a performer role is portraying a person (eg in opera).
