I would not see this as a cons.

When I use rsync, I use it always over SSH (for security), and
no need for rsyncd in this case.

I use sftp to transfer files between my Debian laptop and my

I also use Subversion (over SSH) for files I want to keep.
And unison for my mail (stored in Maildir format).
