Besides the small amount of time it takes to load the form, I can't think of any problem with this. Think of what you would have to do without Mere Mortals... You'd still need to populate all those drop-downs straight from tables in the data environment. It really becomes a matter of form design then? And if your form needs it, what can you do?
We have one form with 6 drop downs, all populated from different BizObj's. So looks like you have the record so far!! :)
I wonder if the technique Kevin mentions in his books about Grids could help you. He often mentions not having the BizObj auto-query on startup (found in the builder) , and only when the user needs to use it. (Anything over 100 records) Maybe the same thing could be done with combobox's and their BizObjs.
I also remember back when I used ADO records sets with VB, that ADO was set up to only return a buffered number of rows, to cut down on server/bandwidth time. Don't know if that helps any, and don't know how to impliment a partial load for a combobox, but might point you to some other ideas to chew on. Goodluck, Let us know.
