We misread the guides when setting up our new dd670's about 6 months ago and currently have 9 active LSU's. Prior to using OST on our old DD's we had multiple directories under /backup so we could easily keep tabs on the compression and replication performance of the different apps or systems we were backing up. We setup the LSU's on our new dd670's using OST with the same theory in mind and have not seen any issues with compression or performance so probably won't be changing it. As a side note, with our pre-ost setup we were also successfully using CIFS and NFS simultaneously without realizing that, technically, it wasn't supported either.
