It sounds like the downside here would be that you loose reliability in your connection. Probably fine for most things.

Seems like they’ve already lost the reliability anyway due to the jamming

Yeah, you lose reliability. If you put the antenna in a pit it will be limited in its beamforming capability. This restricts the number of visible satellites, leading to situations where no satellites are visible.
