I've been forcing everything to Isolated because of the Spooler crashes. On a XenApp server even the amount of time it takes to do an automatic restart is a pain for my users. The Isolated mode has been really handy for stabilising it while we investigate the issues. Once the Spooler service went crazy and chewed up a whole load of RAM, but I don't know whether it is related to the Isolation mode or not. For the most part it has been quite stable and has saved us a lot of hassle. YMMV
