Well if they new some secret gotcha the dutiful cassandra operators of the world would update the wiki. The closest thing to a 'gotcha' is that neither Cassandra nor any other technology is going to get you those nines. Humans will need to commit to reading the mailing lists, following JIRA, and understanding what the code is doing. And humans will need to commit to combine that understanding with monitoring and alerting to figure out all of the "it depends" for your particular case.
