An obvious problem with this is that a third party (or even a second party) might be unwilling to suggest courses of action that they know would be costly to you, as it might be perceived as making a demand or setting an expectation which they do not wish to do.
This is a good point. I think how much of an issue it is would depend on what kind of relationship you have with your advisors. (I know that in general, some of my friends are a lot more willing and able to substitute something else for the typical social norms.)
