When using replica shards what's the disadvantage of using higher refresh
interval. It appears that GET is realtime anyways and will read data from
memory if it's not flushed to disk yet. So even if one node fails you still
have data available on the other node.

The refresh action flushes Lucene buffers (not necessarily to disk). You
can search in the flushed documents only after a refresh, and this refresh
is under full control of the user (behind the scenes, ES refreshes also
when buffers are full).
ES uses Lucene NRT. That is, there is an additional RAM index which keeps
the last doc ids for further reference. Note this index will be flushed in
an unpredictable manner, only by internal Lucene mechanisms, not by the
user.
Elasticsearch NRT mends this uncertainty by refreshing every 1s, so you can
search and get docs after 1s.
