If the stucco is old and has some cracks, the ivy "feet" will force their way into the cracks, making them bigger (and letting in moisture). The Ivy will never, ever come off so don't plan to paint.

On the other hand, it does add a layer of insulation to the building.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost
