The box on the brace might not be able to be positioned as close to the joist as the original box so you might have to cut away some drywall on the side of the existing hole away from the joist. A direct mounting on a dropped ceiling without any additonal support in-between could lead to resonance sounds or an unstable hold of the fan on the ceiling, because the carrying material does not offer enough stability in this case.
