 * Are there any drawbacks if I just put the customize.json in the theme folder 
   without activating the themes style plugin?

 * Nope, no drawbacks. Just check to see if the plugin also has a “style.css” file.
   If it does, you’ll want to bring that into the theme as well. It’s not always
   there, but when it is, it provides minor tweaks to avoid unexpected behavior 
   when editing options in that theme.
