Disadvantage of using WFQ in interfaces faster than 2.0MB?

Hi all,

In VoIP network, on the interfaces where QoS is not set up, I'm trying to
see if I can use WFQ. (I.E: FastEthernet)
I can use rate-limit and etc to make this work, but just wanted a simpler
solution.
I know WFQ is IP Precedence aware. Is it DSCP aware as well? Knowing IP
Precedence 5 (101) and DSCP EF 46 (101110) are using same first 3 bits, I'm
assuming they are. Could someone confirm WFQ is both IP Precedence and DSCP
aware?
What is the disadvantage of using WFQ instead of FIFO in FastEthernet?

From Cisco:

FIFO, which is the fastest method of queueing, is effective for large links
that have little delay and minimal congestion. If your link has very little
congestion, FIFO queueing may be the only queueing you need to use.

Could someone answer?

Thank you.

Edward
