Scale rot.. Common along the inside of the body where she is tightly wrapped around the eggs. Humidity is high here and sometimes the female will get sores before the eggs hatch..

Loss of any eggs that are not receiving even temperatures and proper humidity..

Having an egg go bad and not seeing it inside the coils..

These are just the negative aspects but if the temperature inside the enclosure is correct and humidity is maintained, female snakes are usually very good at taking care of their own eggs.

It is just a personal choice where you need to weigh the pros and cons along with your own resources at the time.
What temperatures and humidity do the eggs typically need to be kept at?
