In strictly theoretical terms - since it's important to remember Parliamentarism or Semi-Parliamentarism has never had the votes to ever be enacted -, I have grown to believe the single biggest flaw in such a model is that A. due to logistical issues you cannot have a truly large unicameral body (more than 15-20 would be nightmarish to handle and coordinate); but B. having a body of that size may have the effect of excessively empowering a very select group to the detriment of other players.
There are conceivable means of partly addressing that - allowing the PM or at the very least the Cabinet to be non MP's is a must, otherwise you'll encounter dysfunction right away -, but it is an issue to be taken into account. Also, though full PR would be interesting to see, it bears reminding Federalists have had a informal veto power whenever this is discussed due to the quorums required for reform, and there's always an insistence in the need for regionally-elected representatives (though I remember Yankee once suggested the German model - as opposed to a Westminster concept - seemed more "acceptable").
(All that side, good to see you back in the game!)
