There's still about 18 open bugs on the tracker[1] for it. You can see how many problems it had been causing by the huge number of blocking bugs. I've been using it for a pretty long time now (probably a couple weeks after Diego first blogged about it) and don't have many problems at all (now), but every once in a while a version bump or a new package will just fail to compile properly and the problem leads back to as-needed. I'm not sure whether ~arch users would be able to catch all the as-needed bugs before they hit stable, so I couldn't say whether it should be enabled by default or not. I also don't think it would completely eliminate the problems that Diego mentioned with preserve-libs (there could still be instances where bar and foo both NEEDED thing.so, but bar had been compiled more recently and needed thing.so.1 whilst foo needed thing.so.0, and starting bar would break trying to load both)...
