These are being implemented in production on many a bank network...so yes, they are plenty good enough. You will obviously need to test them in a lab to make sure the features you need to implement don't have any bugs that need to be addressed first. Overall I've had good experiences with them th

Hi, Hardware is really nice. Backplane, buffers, just basically “pumping” bandwidth. It’s really good. However, mlag can show some bugs when having only 1 interface in an MLAG (only 1 side) they had issues with the ifindex numbering in software. There were OSPF configuration options missing, etc
