you can use any http method for anything, its to do with how the server handles the request – mast3rd3mon Jul 19 '18 at 13:20

Do you mean issues related to akka-http in particular or to API design in general? – Pedro Jul 20 '18 at 11:00

There will not be any "issues" (e.g. failures, exceptions, etc.) that will arise within akka-http if you restrict all http methods to be POST. However, it does violate the definition of RESTful services.
Also, you do give up a useful organization technique. If you organize all read paths inside of GET and all write paths inside of POST, then you can add things like access control (read-only vs. read-write) at the method level.
You therefore lose a level of abstraction for no obvious reason except simplicity.
