>>> Is there any drawback placing the files in the /shared/images location?
To my knowledge, none (other than the disk space issue).
The /shared/images directory is typically used for storing the BIG-IP iso images. If you have stored a bogus ISO 9660 file with the extension 'iso', it will show up in System > Software Management > Image List on GUI or 'tmsh list sys software images'. Since your ASM file is an XML, they should be benign. If you are super disk-space conscious, you can of course remove the file any time by calling the /mgmt/tm/util/unix-rm endpoint (specify the name of the file in the "utilCmdArgs" property).
