1x road crank with direct mount chainring

11
Sram only goes down to 38T with their road 1x chainrings. Are there any pros/cons with direct mount chainrings that offer smaller sizes?
There is some small weight saving with direct mount but it isn't a factor for me. My biggest concern is chainline, but I think it should be a non-issue.
Sram Force 1 chainrings have a 5.7mm offset.
Sram mtb and Wolftooth, etc offer rings with 6mm offset.
Are there any other factors that need to be considered?
