Stone Foundation Cellar Walls

This is a subject that has been visited many times here in this forum. I have a 150 year old house with a stone foundation. My understanding of the conventional wisdom is that you should not frame and insulate walls inside the stone because the freeze and thaw cycles will eventually damage the foundation.

Is there any downside to simply framing walls and putting up paperless drywall inside the cellar without insulating? I'm trying to make the cellar usable for a workshop, and framed walls would help a lot even without the insulation.

Thanks for any suggestions.
