It is supported. I say this specifically because I mistakenly said in this list
that it is not supported and someone posted a link to technet stating that it
is. :)
Personally I am in the same situation and I'm still leaning towards a
side-by-side migration because it offers more flexibility.

Subject: [mssms] Upgrading to SCCM 1511 w/ 2008R2 Primary Site OS
Curious how everyone is handling this scenario?
Working on scoping out multiple engagements where a client desires to upgrade
from SCCM 2012 to v1511, but their Primary Site Server is running 2008R2 as the
OS. From what I am reading, 2008R2 will not be supported as a Site Server OS
after October of 2016.
(https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt210917.aspx)
It seems that recommending a new hierarchy, and doing a side by side migration
is the safest way to go, however I am seeing some people (Jason S) recommending
a backup and restore on to a 2012R2 OS. I can't find anything stating where
this is a supported action by Microsoft.
Thoughts?
