The technology is very useful. You can get to 150ms detection time for link failures where sometimes it takes much longer. On some platforms (like GSR) it also increases the scale as opposed to tuning down IGP timers.
One thing to look for is not to be too aggressive with the timers as on CPU based platforms it may have substantial effect.
