Came across the same thing when i swapped my HO manifold to a Explorer, I just fitted the rubber grommet and installed the valve.
Don't know if there is any disadvantage, but have had no probs so far with my motor.

Ive got a cobra intake manifold,came straight from the states to the engine rebuilder so I dont know if mine has a baffle.Aked Vic cause he has the same manifold as me and his has a small baffle.I found small amounts of oil in the intake when removing the top section so I made up a catch can that hooks up to the hose comming from the PCV valve and then goes into the intake.Ive also had trouble with plugs fouling before I did this.Every service I empty the catch can and get about 600mls of oil.

I think if you used a t-piece the oil would still be sucked through.Best idea is to use a larger baffle to stop oil splash being sucked into the PCV valve.The catch can I made up has a gas tight cap and two fittings into it,one for in and one for out.The good thing about having a screew lid its easy to check how high the oil level is getting so that you dont suck a heap of oil into the motor.I glued a ceramic block to the side of the can and ground a groove in it then it clamps to the dipstick for easy access and removal to empty the oil out.I went with the catch can idea cause it was a lot easier than removing the intake and having to get new gaskets.
