Is there any downside to being a ghoul in Fallout 76?

Is it better to be a ghoul or human in Fallout 76?

Should Leamon become a ghoul or not?

Whether Leamon Price should become a ghoul in Fallout 76 is a player choice during the "Leap of Faith" quest, with the decision affecting gameplay: becoming a ghoul offers perks like radiation immunity, no hunger/thirst, and bonus health but introduces the feral meter (requiring drugs to manage) and social stigma, while staying human preserves your normal gameplay but means missing out on ghoul mechanics.
