A lot of guys have them and like them.

I have not used a stealth suit myself, but I think it most definitely a viable option for all the reason's you have stated.
One concern I would have with it, is just the overall decreased comfort you might experience as your BDUs soaka full with water. It might decrease your core temperate faster and increase your overall weight load. Additionally you would have to pack a spare set of BDUs to wear once the rain stops, if you do not want to tough it out and wait until your BDU dries.
But again have not tried the stealth suits myself so the above is not based on any personal experience just thoughts that crossed my mind looking at it. Overall seems like a good solution though, might just not be for everyone.
