The risk of sanding too deep. It would *very* easy to sand too far with
a ROS without a lot of practice.

That size repair with those black, mesh drywall sheets could be done in
less time than it would take to unwrap the get the ROS out, unwrap the
cord and plug it in. :-)
Seriously, drywall mud is about the fastest thing in the world to sand.
