A negative of the crazy monkey position is that both your hands are all the way back at your face - making your shots telegraph a bit more.
That's one reason why we start people out with CM for the first couple of months - after they "get it" we move them on to supplement the knowledge with more relaxed, classic boxing structures.
Then they always have the CM when they are outclassed or getting rocked or simply fighting at very close range - and they have the more open boxing postures for when they want their jab hand closer to the opponent at initiation.
