I just brought up 6.3 on a new Fujitsu Primergy TX1310 M3 which runs the Xeon E3-1225 v6 Kaby Lake (low-end Xeon) in the last couple of weeks. It works fine, the biggest PITA was figuring out what the BIOS is calling legacy boot, I didn't want to use UEFI. I did see a failure to load i915 firmware in the dmesg or log, I didn't follow up on it because I ASSumed it was for the display adapter- which btw works fine over VGA enough to install and get it minimally set up. Since then I'm running it headless. 6.3 has been totally stable (no surprise) and what's interesting is sometimes a terminal running top over SSH looks like the box is dead. I don't ever remember seeing an OS that idled so well. Only the clock on tmux changing lets you know the system is alive.
