Downsides to buying an extra spare NAS drive? (zerobytes.monster)

I'm building a small TrueNAS system with 3 drives, is there a downside (except $) to buying an extra identical drive right now and letting it sit (probably for years) before I need to use it? The only reason I'm considering doing that is to mitigate problems with possible product discontinuation. Or is product discontinuation not an issue? (can I use any non-identical drive with the same capacity?)
