From a loss standpoint tuner in shack + high Z ladder line isn't bad
(although you DO need to check and make sure that you're not one of the
weird corner cases).
The philosophical objection I have is that you can't build an effective
choke for the ladder line to prevent it from being a radiator. With
coax, if you find that the shield is picking up RF current and
re-radiating, you can throw a choke on it to stop that.
