I'm not so sure about early zealot harass though. What if the zerg player splits his lings and sends some to protoss' third? He has no wall-off or units to defend. And is it even worth delaying your tech? Delaying tech means you're not going to hit any +1 WG timing. There certainly are merits to making a zealot before nexus though.

If the Zerg player splits his lings and sends some to protoss's third it's no problem, simply because with this build you're continuously producing chronoed zealots, so you'll always have a zealot nearing completion at your natural. And of course, if with your first zealots you see that he's going crazy with zerglings, nothing prevents you from walling completely and dropping a quicker forge.
Tech isn't delayed as much as you'd think compared to FFE, the cybercore is like 15s late compared to FFE so it's not really a game breaker. The real "problem" IMO is the second gas, cause you won't have the eco to chrono probes, zealots AND get an early 2nd gas like in FFE. That's a trade-off.
