On CE:

If an average of 10% of your pop is in (non-gate) transit, you would get 10% growth out of it on an average planet and 10% of the time your engines fail, then you lose .1% growth. The losses are highest in the early stages (perhaps .3%) and less later.

You are also going to be slower in a race for a planet that multiple parties want.

It is harder to coordinate ship movements (especially with allies).

On the plus side:

If engines cost 10% of the final price of a ship design, then cheap engines may give you another around 5% ships. This can mean more resources going into factory/mine growth rather than transport, and more warships that may turn the tide of a defensive battle when you gate them in.

There are times when engine cost may be 20% of the final cost of a ship (both in minerals and resources).
