With sshpass you are breaking the security protocols that ssh and similar tools require. This is never a good thing.

You say that you don't have ssh access, but you know a password. Do you mean that the account does not allow you to get to a shell prompt if you use ssh? Can you not ask the administrator of the server you connect to? They should be able to enable access with SSH-key authentication.

Another alternative might be to set the variable RSYNC_PASSWORD or use the --password-file option. Would they not be better? Is that better than sledge-hammering your way on?
