I've done the reverse, going from rectangular to square. There are 3 drawbacks to rectangle for me, but they're the kinds of things that may be non-issues for other people.
1. If you use templates, every single one has to be adjusted first. Most will still work in rectangle.
2. Papers with borders or other edge detailing don't work.
3. The photos have to be smaller, closer to the size they'd be on an 8x8 canvas. (And in a related topic, you need to do more resizing of elements than people who scrap 3600px x 3600px but print 8x8.)
If you start with 8x11 and get tired of it, would it bother you to mix rectangle and square pages within a square photo book? If so, I'd start by scrapping a rectangular vacation album or some other 20-page project before committing to the whole year.
