We've had 802.11k enabled for a few years. The only issue we've had was
with some Intel wireless chipsets. To work around this we disabled the
Quiet Information Element which appears in beacons and probes as part of
802.11k. If you search for Intel and Quiet Information Element you can find
lots more info.

We've never enabled 802.11r, because it is not supported by OS X. It is
supported on iOS but not sure about other OSes.

Environment: about 5,000 daily associations, close to 4,000 of which are
BYOD.
