Answer 1

One of the drawbacks of putting your template HTML into separate file might happen if you're developing Angular2+ library that supposed to be used in other projects.

In this case the consumers of your library might not be able to perform JIT compilation successfully unless they use template loaders like angular2-template-loader or angular2-rollup or any other depending on the bundler that should be properly configured that sometimes might be tricky.

To avoid this drawback and still have templates in separate files (which i think is quite convenient) the library developer might end up inlining templates automatically using Gulp plugin like gulp-inline-ng2-template or any other. But this would mean additional level of complexity while building ES2015 version of the library.
