If you start with an unambiguous grammar then you aren't going to introduce ambiguities by implementing it with a recursive descent parser.

If you are developing a new grammar it is quite easy to accidentally create ambiguities and a recursive descent parser won't highlight them. This becomes painful when you try to evolve the grammar.
