I have been cutting down plants quite aggressively the last years, they come back nice and strong very fast.
The biggest issue I have had is aphids, if you keep an eye on your plants and remove them as soon they show it should be all good.
They do well as "bonsais" too, and is a nice little winter project. With enough light and nutrition they will produce fruits as well.

I cannot get rid of mine for love nor money no matter how throughly I clear the plan as soon as I go away for a weekend there is a population explosion
