It's perfectly fine to eat on it's own, I wouldn't personally do it because it's really tart, but if it makes you happy go for it!.
I don't know any particular health benefits, but there aren't really any drawbacks to eating it, especially since it's a significantly important spice in jamacian, and asian cuisine, and lots of mexican candies are made from it, and in hispanic communities in the US you can buy a super sweet tamarind drink (tamarindo) made with it's pulp and plenty of sugar!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I am not sure about any nutritional benefits, other than it is a fruit, so it cant be that bad!
