Works like a charm for us. Exactly those features, running 12.2(35)SE5
IP Services.

Performance is excellent, as long as the switch get to do hardware
forwarding. Be careful about configuring the SDM template; the default
can only take 2k routes all in all, and customers with multiple VRFs and
a complex net can sometimes exceed this. (Been there done that, as the
customer actually.)

Throughput is what you would consider on a switch like that, i.e.
practically wire speed with maybe a few ASIC limitations.

It would be nice to have a "WS-C3560G-12S", but the WS-C3750G-12S is
similar enough for that.
