Mixing succession laws- is there a downside to this?

Mixing succession laws- is there a downside to this? - Person Holding Yellow Ceramic Bowl

After much diplomacy, war and diplomatic wars I've reunited France and Aquitaine. All my land is in those kingdoms.

France has Primogeniture sucession. Aquitaine has Gavelkind. I personally control the Duchy of Normandy- most of my demesne holdings are there.

I set Aquitaine as my primary title. This means inheritance works as follows:

  • All titles in Aquitaine are divided among my heirs. In practice, this means my first child receives the Kingdom of Aquitaine. That's it because there aren't any more titles.
  • All titles in France are Primogenitured to my eldest child.

This appears to give me all the bonuses of Gavelkind except without dividing my lands on death- it might be too good to be true. Aside from this being a bit cheesy, is there a downside to this I'm missing?
