We have had 802.11k enabled for months rather than years.  Had to disable 
802.11k "Assisted Roaming Prediction Optimization” on our Cisco wireless since 
it appeared to cause lots of drops for clients.  

We still have 802.11k "Neighbor List Dual Band” enabled

This says that OS X has supported 802.11r starting with Mavericks 10.9.

I think the showstopper is Microsoft devices.

"Not all Windows 10 devices support 802.11k, 802.11v, and 802.11r.”
