There isn't, no, and there's no particular harm in self-hosted web fonts when it comes to long-term stability. Not only is it relatively unlikely that future browsers will deprecate web fonts but not anything else in current CSS (in which case there's a bigger issue than your fonts), it's even less likely that they'll do so in an entirely incompatible fashion. Assuming you've designed your font stack with decent fallbacks -- which you should -- then it's just like any other font stack, e.g., you may not be presenting in the typeface that you really want to, but nothing's going to break. ("Web fonts are okay, actually" is evidently the windmill I will keep tilting at on Hacker News.)
