Is there a downside to using ES6 template literals syntax without a templated expression?

by

The most significant reason not to use them is that ES6 is not supported in all environments.

Of course that might not affect you at all, but still: YAGNI. Don’t use template literals unless you need interpolation, multiline literals, or unescaped quotes and apostrophes. Much of the arguments from When to use double or single quotes in JavaScript? carry over as well. As always, keep your code base consistent and use only one string literal style where you don’t need a special one.
