I don't think there's any mechanical reason not to do it, but there sure are some practical ones.

This depends on how you use your equipment. It's a valid concern. But on a regular basis, I sync constantly. The backup module then is just a fail safe which lets me restore a little faster if I have to do a hard reset. You know, sync-ing from a hard reset restores almost everything, but sometimes you have to add back a 3d party app or two. Saves some time and gives one level of redundancy--but on a normal basis it's redundant. So it is much better then to keep the module in the Visor so as to promote regular backups. This is my most common but admittedly minor use of the module.
If I'm traveling and cannot sync to my desktop regularly, then it's a different story, and yes I'd store the module separately from the unit to be safe.
