Not much and yes.

It's probably only the length. MTB posts are often 350mm or so
and road posts ~280mm(?).

The gram-conscious roadies would go for a shorter one as possible.

As long as it's the right diameter and long enough that the minimum
mark isn't above the top of the seat tube, it'll do just fine.

Cheers.

On most posts this would be true, but the WCS post has a very unusual
and exotic profile. The upper portion of the post is much thinner
than the lower area (since it has to be clamped). If you were to use
a very long MTB seatpost in a road bike, inserted far into the seat
tube, you could potentially deform the thin wall.

OTOH, if you'll be running it at "MTB height" (that is, with lots of
the post showing), it's fine.

X posting is considered rather rude. Just buy a lightweight road seat post
you tight [censored] cross poster. 🙂
