For reference, we have been using /tmp on mfs on various machines for many years without issues. This includes machines with unusual kernel configurations, no swap partition configured, etc. Many of our ports building machines put a large pobj directory on mfs, again without issues. I also frequently use very large MFS partitions ~50 Gb on a machine with 128 Gb of physical RAM for for mastering BD-R DL discs. The mfs code has been stable for many releases in all of these scenarios.
