The downside from the 'state' from Caps Lock is you have to keep track of whether it's active or not.
Whereas with layers, typically a layer will only be active if you're holding down some kind of "activate layer" key.

Or more to the point: 'mode error' is exactly what the upthread comment is complaining about with the Caps Lock key.
