I am not too familiar with the Calix G8032 but some of the things I
could see being issues would be pulling management out of the ring so
that you don't loose connectivity to the radios on the blocked port. You
also loose a great deal of bandwidth If one side is blocking an fully
modulated link and the active path is no running full rate. If it uses
CFM/OAM for link monitoring you could have issues configuring this over
the radio links. You pretty much are forced to do this or run out of
band management and force the ports down on link failure.
Personally I would look in to Juniper Nokia 7210 or ciena 3928. The
Nokia does full MPLS ciena does MPLS-TP and would possibly be abetter
solution.

After moving most of our network over to VPLS, I'm working on pushing
10G further into the network. It doesn't make a lot of sense to do
this with routers (cost & power) and since we use a lot of Calix gear
for our GPON and already have some of it in place it makes sense to me
to just set up a 10G ring and hang routers off of that where we need
them. A couple of the legs are going to be wireless 10G links for now
so I'm looking for feedback on G.8032v2 vs ERPS rings with wireless
paths.
Going to be running ~20-30 Service VLANs with multiple CVLANS and
20-30 other single tagged VLANs over the ring (router to router,
dedicated links, etc). The only drawback I see is the inability to do
traffic engineering the way we an with MPLS VPLS but I'll still have
that with the transport to the core ring.
Any gotchas I should look for? Issues with wireless? benefits of one
vs the other?
