Add an existing index as a backing index for a data stream

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

The documentation for adding an existing index as a backing index for a data stream warns that this is an expert-level API and "can potentially result in improper data stream behavior" (see Modify data streams API | Elasticsearch Guide [8.12] | Elastic).

Can anyone explain in what cases this API results in improper data stream behavior?
