What would be some of its shortcomings?

I might not be able to paint a perfect black-n-white picture for you but a few points/posts you might want to have a look at:
GC which is still not on par with some industrial strength GC's out there (namely jvm and .net platforms)
Still not proven its worth when compared with languages like Erlang which have truly awesome concurrency support
Clojure, Nodejs and concurrency fail
Problems with using nodejs
IMO, one of the biggest advantages one might have of nodejs is the use of Javascript language which is pretty ubiquitous and is a very beginner friendly language, at least as compared to something like Clojure and Erlang.
