I'm curious if there are any potential downsides or issues that come with daisy chaining fans in my setup. Are there certain things I should be aware of before I do this?

When you daisy chain fans, the main thing to keep in mind is the current ratings. You don't want to overload the header that you're connecting them to. Also, all the fans will operate at the same percentage of their maximum speeds, which might not be ideal for certain setups. Plus, since the fan header can only pick up one tach signal, you'll be missing that feedback from the other fans, so just something to consider.
Yeah! You have to be careful about how much power is going through that header. If you go over the limit, you could risk damaging your components. Just make sure you know the specs of your fans and header.
