It does work and allows us to sleep well, which cannot be underappreciated. The problems begin when you need to do operations. You never know what exactly will happen when you start a certain repair command or how the streaming will happen in case of bootstrap/rebuild, and the docs just aren't detailed enough, so you have go the trial and error path most of the time.
