Is there any reason not to use g17 mags in a g19 unaltered (without an adapter)?

no. They work fine without them. I have never been able to make them fail, even with putting pressure on the part of the mag that hangs down while shooting. The only thing I use the 19 mags for is the mag in the gun as it hides better concealed. The two extra mags I carry are 17 mags.
I like to carry one or two G17 mag's as reloads for my 19 and my 26. The longer mags work fine in the smaller guns without issue without any adapter. When the Magpul mags first came out for the G17 they had issues in the shorter guns but they rectified that. The OEM mags work fine.
Here's a video from the late Paul Gomez on the subject

Why use a 17 mag when you can use a 21 round Magpul Magazine or 22rnd ets magazine?

G19 mags in the gun. G17 for a reload. Why go with anything other than oem?
