At least on gigabit and faster links and if there are no really dumb
media converters involved.

What do you think?

I couldn't agree more, as long as you have hardware liveliness
detection and unidirectional link detection like you have on Ethernet,
UDLD will just decrease your availability not increase. As it's
control-plane feature and on timely transport of BPDU.

Agreed. UDLD was a net problem for us - I can't think of a single time it performed it's function, but can recall a handful of outages from false-positives.
