The main potential issue is if the show gets popular and tons of people all try to download the just-posted episode at almost the same time and crash the server. That's the same reason it's not advised to use your website host to host podcast episode files. When you pay for a real podcast hosting sevice they make sure they're able to serve episodes bo matter how big your show gets. Buy I guess if your show stays small then self-hosting could be great.
