We have a very small deployment of ASR920 running 16.12. Work well for us, and we do some pretty kinky/exotic stuff: small scale BNG, Internet in VRF, selective FIB, port-based DHCPv4/v6/PD, IP unnumbered, IPoDWDM...
If you can stomach the BU wars, UADP is a nice ASIC - I think the Cat9k has legs, but the Enterprise BU is definitely in a parallel universe. I asked about porting XR to run on UADP. That didn't really go over well. I am wary of NCS due to the merchant silicon and general uncertainty - why announce the Cisco 8000 with no family loyalty? Looks like a replacement to me.
