I have been using Seam-gen with a small sample database to help me learn the Seam framework. Now I am going to build a more complex application. Are there disadvantages or things that I should watch out for if I decide to start from a seam-gen project?

No.
- A Seam-gen generated project can be opened without any restriction in NetBeans (like another project)
- If you use Eclipse, some settings are needed.
- Seam-gen takes care includes all libraries
- It creates by default, production and development profile. It helps you develop faster, without deployment.
I agree with @Arthur.
And I would like to add these:
- Use seam-gen to get quickly started with ant script, deployment and libraries.
- Do NOT use the Seam Entity/Query Framework (EntityQuery, EntityHome, EntityList classes)
- There are many reasons for this, but mostly because it adds an extra layer of abstraction, and it is very difficult to scale and improve performance on these objects.
- It complicates things unnecessary. Better to just develop your components and minimalize the component to only do what it is supposed to do, hence increase performance
