Yes I know opinions regarding softdog do diverge a bit. Going through some possible kernel-paths at least leaves a bad taste. Doesn't mean you will have issues though. Just something where testing won't give you an easy answer. May as well depend heavily on the hardware you are running on. As long as there are better possibilities one should at least consider them. Remember to have defaulted to softdog on a pre-configured product-installer with the documentation stating that softdog has it's shortcomings and an advise to configure something else if available, you know what you are doing and you have tested it (testing if a hardware watchdog actually fires is easy while it is merely impossible to test-verify if softdog is really reliable enough).
