I am a former roofer and a former Florida resident (just moved away in 2019). I replaced my roof in 2018. Using a 'peel and stick' underlayment is code in most jurisdictions now, hurricane Andrew changed everything. There are no cons, it is an awesome product and will save your house in the event you lose some shingles in a tropical event. I used GAF Weather Watch on my house. I am assuming you are using shingles.
