It's less benefit analysis and more forced by internal requirements.
Often an organization already has a CA and wants any additional CA's to
be subordinates.
The downsides of an external CA is some additional complexity.
Installation can be more difficult (users often have issues getting
their external CA to properly sign the IPA CSR), dealing with a longer
certificate chain and being bound by the expiration date of the external CA.
