Just saw someone on a youtube say you can buy 10.5" barrel with pinned can to avoid having to SBR the rifle. Any downsides to this? Would be a great way to go for (perhaps) a 300 blackout upper.
Can pinned to barrel to avoid SBR stamp?

You are already paying for the can. Might as well do the form for the sbr

The short answer is yes, you can do it that way. If the barrel's overall length is 16" or more, than you only pay for the suppressor stamp. Most centerfire cans aren't user serviceable anyway.
Of course, then you can't swap the can to any other guns. And you can't use that gun in places with suppressor restrictions. Sort of a bummer there, but it's your call.

This. Try it as a pistol first. You might like it enough to skip the welding and the SBR stamp.

So it may not be worth saving $200 for all of the constraints I would have as opposed to having the 2 separate items.
I know SBR's cannot be moved out of state without filing paperwork with the ATF to notify them before hand. I think this is not the case for suppressors though. Am I correct? Wouldn't that be a potential advantage? (Not an NFA guy, but this is a subject I've wondered about.)

For out-of-state moves (even temporary), suppressors and AOWs don't require a Form 5320.20, and in-state doesn't require notification at all. However, SBRs, machineguns, etc., all require a Form 5320.20.
More info on the form itself.

The main disadvantage is not able to switch can to other guns.
Advantages are no SBR stamp, no form 20 required.
Minor didadvantage, if traveling to a non-suppressor jurisdiction, you would need to leave at home OR use a 16in bbl upper .

Remember DE is not suppressor friendly

From a cost perspective, I believe I paid somewhere in the $100-150 range to have a muzzle device pinned and welded. A stamp is $200. A savings of $50-100 is not worth having a $500+ suppressor welded to a barrel, in my opinion.
What if your can needs maintenence or repair? Baffle strikes do happen...

Not sure about other calibers, but I have one of these Tactical Solutions SBX barrels. It has a a 12" barrel with a 4.5" shroud pinned to it. A suppressor can be inserted into the shroud or fired without a suppressor.

I've seen this set-up on .22 ARs. Works pretty good.
You really need to get technical if you want to avoid an unpleasant encounter with the fellas with the bulges in the cheap suits.
Pinning isn't good enough. Your muzzle attachment that avoids SBR requirements must be permanent, by full-fusion gas or electric steel-seam welding, hi-temp silver soldering, or blind pinning with the pin head welded over.
