We're using xfs on top of md s/w raid-1 over a local and an
iscsi disk on a couple of low-end servers since a year or so.
We had some problems since we set it up, but it was never
conclusive whether this was due to xfs, iscsi or something
else.

Since a couple of weeks we're using xfs on top of device
mapper raid-1 over external sas disks. So far, it seems OK,
but it's probably too early to say something definitive.

In any case, we could never pinpoint xfs as the source of
problems to the degree that we would stop using it.

Cheers,
  Arne
