How soon is too soon to harden off seedlings and keep them outdoors? The forecast is showing highs around 75-82 and lows around 60 for the next 10 days. Of course I could always bring them inside if rain is in the forecast.

Is there any downside to hardening off early and keeping the seedlings (potted up) outside, weather permitting, until ready to transplant in a few weeks?

I think hardening off will be fine as long as no frost is due. Make sure they are in complete shade for 3 or 4 days. That's much mire light than indoors and will give them a great head start.
