Is there a drawback to using an HP-29C emulato? The HP-29C is for the most part a superset of the HP-25, and has LBL and GSB.

This was my thought too. However, the conditional test set is different, as discussed for instance here.

If for some reason a 25C+ with GSB/RTN is desired, it may be easier to start from the 29C and change the conditionals to the 25C set.
Also, the SST/BST placement should be aligned to the 25C. So updating a physical 25C to a 25C+ (or could we name it 26C ? a never-used model number) would just involve putting a few labels for the new g-functions.
