Risk

Aside from perfect repair, some jurisdictions are making use difficult

Ontario canada recently changed so that you cannot put a salvage motorcycle back on the road, and flood cars cannot be insured here

Gov& insurance companies have partnered on a VIN database to track these, so even if the title gets cleansed through some US state, it’s vin still is tracked

I used to never have an issue with salvage titles (but then again I’ve also started to be concerned that a gas powered or driver driven car won’t be eligible in the future, so take my opinion of risk with a grain of salt)
