The biggest caveat of this type of a relationship, in my opinion, is idealizing your partner. When the relationship exists more or less in your minds/fantasies and is less grounded in day-to-day mundane interaction, it's easy to build unrealistic expectations.
It's a little different if you've been together a while before your separation, but I think the biggest danger isn't temptation to stray, but building someone up in your mind...falling in love with that flawless partner who never leaves the cap off the toothpaste...
It's easy for these relationships to drag on and on...because there's no conflict (other than being apart)...and sometimes you're better off alone.
