Any drawbacks? Particularly with Arnolds. I can focus better on the rotation of each shoulder, get a better contraction, and can lift more weight (or at least more reps, I haven’t tried to add weight to the bells yet). I assume this is because I only have to stabilize half the weight (I’m not holding onto anything), but I still feel my core working and the overall movement is a lot less messy. I’m a lot more stable.
Imbalances? Weaker core?

Go one arm at a time? Great idea, balance yourself by gripping the bench with freehand for balance. Do 12-15 reps with the right hand then do a straight set with the left hand. Switch when done etc.

If you're able to maintain good form and avoid any excessive arching or leaning to one side, I'm sure you'll be fine. I could see it being beneficial actually because of the amount of core strength and stability this requires.
Different exercises work best for different people so if this feels great for you, I'd stick with it.WBFF Pro Muscle Model | Questions? Send me a private message.

Press on a high incline with elbows tucked. There’s no reason to be pronated with a DB
