I'm guessing if he does a chargeback he gets banned from AirBnB.

This is correct. I had an issue with an Airbnb at some point that Airbnb was struggling to resolve. When I said "whatever, I'll just dispute the charge", the rep said that it is their policy to permanently suspend an account when a user initiates a chargeback. Not "may" but "definitely will". The issue did end up getting resolved after countless phone calls and escalating the issue to supervisors of supervisors but

Yes at the very least chargeback gives you leverage.

It doesn't seem like the author intends to use AirBNB ever again, so a chargeback seems like the right solution...

That seems like more a ‘pro’ than a ‘con’
