One problem is not enough leverage/wrong fee model. If you need to invest 20% of your portfolio in a long vol fund to see a meaningful impact, the drag on returns is going to be too big to bear.

Works on average but not guaranteed. You also dilute the effect if you trade more asset classes (ie maximum convexity if you just trend followed ES futures, but then your E(R) would be terrible).
