At UIUC we are all jumbo enabled within our backbone and throughout our RON.  The only real issue I've seen in modern deployments is configuration related or user education issues, i.e. not having consistent jumbo paths or host tuning issues (for example, a 10G access port that is jumbo enabled).  There are some older pieces of gear that don't do a full 9000 byte payload for their jumbo implementation as well, but I've not seen one in a long time.
