Let's say you need to update your function signature with an additional, optional parameter with a default value. You can go to the definition of the action creator and change it. Since you've defined an interface for the action object, finding reducers that use it will be reliable and easy.
If such a creator doesn't exist, you must grep your codebase for every instance of the object and ensure they deal with the optional bit. Murphy's Law guarantees that someone will have decided to procedurally generate the object making finding every instance very hard. Next, you have that reducer lookup, but you don't have a shared interface, so you're stuck in grep land once again to find all the reducers.
Finally, copy-pasting an object literal all over generally results in a larger bundle than reusing an action creator which is smaller and also minifies better.
