I'm on this same boat. I rent a VDS from NFO as well as a normal TF2 server, I've got the TF2 server FTP'ing the demos to the VDS, and the only issue I've had thus far is a very occasional hiccup, but nothing like these "one minute rollbacks" and things others have stated. No players besides the ones with poor hardware have been complaining.
As for the maxplayers bug, I've now seen the server do one of three very weird things; 1. replay joins and stays spectator, like it's supposed to, but uses a slot. reporting 1/24 to server browser. 2. replay joins and stays spectator, does NOT use a slot, but instead the server shows 0/23 (25 slot server with one hidden, should be 0/24 @ that point) - the 1st human that joins does NOT affect the player count, it will still report 0/23 to the server browser, it takes two humans connected, and then the server will report 1/23 3. replay does NOT join at all, replay function still works, and server is still missing a slot. Takes one OR two players to start showing players connected in the server browser, happens randomly. I've observed all three of these behaviors, constantly, for the past two days. The server has not been restarted or had any config changes made, so it seems to randomly pick which bug it wants to roll with on each mapchange.
