My main concern with BJJ in street is that it doesn't deal with recovery after a break, and that it doesn't stress actually breaking bones and tearing ligaments and muscles; thereby not giving you correct position to break instead of just submit.
Some armbars done in BJJ can cleanly dislocate joints. Normal armbars hyper extend the joint.

I used to think doing an armbar in a fight would be a terrible mistake. I would have the guy in a tight armbar but never be able to really hurt him. Maybe it would just be painful and after i let the guy up he'd still be able to use his arm. I don't have many doubts about it now.

And shoulder locks (key locks, paint brush.. whatever you call it) would do much more than just submit a person. It would destroy the shoulder.
