In my experience, redundancy on CSM has worked fine.

The fact that you have to more or less manually configure and
maintain redundancy, which some people bitch a lot, makes me
wonder... 'Yeah, but what about redundancy with HSRP? Or BGP?'

I think that will stop soon, if it hasn't already. The CSM is
not supported in recent IOS versions.
