I did an in-place upgrade on my HOME File Server, and have no issues. (Just had to reinstall an audio driver.)
However, I would never do an in-place upgrade on a production box. (Although that might change going from 2012 to 2012r2, depending.)

Rather than replacing it, according to some sites I've read, it's possible to do an in-place upgrade to WS2012 instead. Anyone have any experience with this?
