Are vendors still pushing their satellite switches :-)?

That technology looked dodgy to me when Cisco first proposed it with 
9000v, and then Juniper and Nokia followed with their own implementations.

Similar use case here but we use a QFX as a fusion satellite if port expansion 
is required.
Works well as an small site start up option.

Yeah, using the MX204 like this (edge router functions) is costly on the ports 
it's already lacking.

The MX204 is an MPC7E, so whatever H-QoS is on the MPC7E is what the 
MX204 will also do.

We have used them as an edge router on a temporary basis at new sites, 
with an Arista switch hanging off of them via an 802.1Q trunk, until we 
can get our standard MX480 to site. They are capable for such a 
use-case. But usually, we use them for peering and value-added traffic.
