According to some, many infact, are saying not to use it until it has been certified in 1 way or another.

In development, supposed to be available early 2014, here is a preliminary review - DarkWallet Promises True Anonymity for Bitcoin (https://axablends.com/merchants-accepting-bitcoin/bitcoin-wallets/darkwallet-promises-true-anonymity-for-bitcoin/)

Like Mondy said, beware of using this new wallet until it has been thoroughly tested and audited against security flaws.

I don't think security is the problem, bitcoin-qt is very secure if encrypted with a good passphrase.
For the majority of people it should be just very easy to use.

The problem with bitcoin-qt is that it downloads the blockchain, which can take days if starting fresh. For casual users, a thin wallet like Multibit or Electrum is the best option.

Are there any downsides to not downloading the blockchain?

In theory, downloading the blockchain helps strengthen the network because it becomes harder to falsify it. But in my opinion, there are already many nodes around the world which would take a long time to beat, so there should be no problem with not downloading it. On the other hand, if you do have the opportunity to download it, then do it.

Not sure but maybe they experience too heavy load in certain periods resulting in downtime.

I think you are right  - there is no other variant of the cause of downtime except the one you've mentioned.
