Reciprocity: Kuma's fit-outs are all part of her 'self' meaning any damage incured to one translates to the other, and vice versa. She cannot translate from one fit to the other to repair damage, and any damage to her Ocean fit-out can cause severe injury to her Land Fit-out when changing back, depending on how badly damaged she becomes. The trade-off is that any repairs made to her Land Fit-Out carry over to the Ocean Fit-Out, making dedicated drydock facilities unnecessary.

Operational Exhaustion: Deployment to combat zones is tiring work, especially because of damage and expenditure of ammunition and fuel. While field repairs can patch minor damage, full repair work and restoration must be carried out in a dockyard facility.

Pyrophobia: Kuma was hit by torpedoes from HMS Tally Ho. This lit many fires within her aft and midships decks, that gutted much of the vessel and caused her magazine to explode. This makes Kuma deathly afraid of fire, even moreso than other Fleet Daughters. As a ship, fire is a very serious problem, as even with all that water surrounding it, there's little a ship can do to quench a raging inferno once it starts. This can also cause secondary explosions, especially of the Long Lance torpedoes, which while potent weapons, were just as dangerous to the carrying craft as to enemies.

Abyssal Nightmare: Despite being entirely loyal to her cause of protecting the surface from the Abyssal Navy, if she is 'sunk' she will rise again as a Chi-class Abyssal Torpedo Cruiser. This form has no knowledge of her former life as a Kuma-class Fleet Daughter and is loyal to the Abyssal fleet, until she is 'sunk' again, which will change her back.

Leviathan Syndome: Leviathan Mode has many advantages, but several drawbacks as well. Notably is that, while it levels the playing field against larger opponents, it leaves the Abyssal at a disadvantage against a smaller opponent in a one-on-one battle. It also puts a lot of strain on the Abyssal's body, and cannot be used more than once per any one battle.
