I have been running my subs off of my center channel in LR+mono mode on my console. For me, it simplifies things. I just select the channels I want to go to the subs and everything is sent there post fader with no problem. Are there any real drawbacks to doing this that I am not seeing, or haven't yet run into?

As long as it's an assignable mono channel and not an actual center channel, it's the same as subgroup fed subs, which is the same as fixed-aux-fed subs.
If the console were set to actual LCR pan mode it would not be what you wanted.

Liam,
This is technically the correct approach, as it keeps your sub/top crossover point consistent from one channel to the next. Using a variable auxiliary send allows you to do "EQ" with the sub level, but of course the correct place to apply EQ is in the EQ.

Re: running subs off center channel
Liam doesn't say specifically that he's running an X32, but my question is in the context of an X32.
It appears in-desk crossover processing can only be applied to the matrices and not LR nor C. If I'm wanting to leverage in-desk crossover processing, is there a way to feed L to one matrix and R to another to maintain the stereo image? Or have I completely missed the intent here?
ETA: Ah, looks like the adjacent matrices need linked first. Duh.
