A few years ago we had Cisco and Mikrotik operating in a production environment in Sparse mode with about 500 Mb of traffic. It worked just fine. The only hiccup we had was our own doing. We had a source behind the Mikrotik and we forgot to allow the RP-related packets through the input firewall chain of the Mikrotik so the source path tree would not form correctly and we had high CPU usage because of it was forwarding the traffic directly to the rendezvous point. After we properly allowed what was needed through the firewall, it behaved as you’d expect. Had to manually set the rendezvous point.
