We've been running both eXR 7.1.15 and 7.1.3 in production on two ASR9906s and ASR9922 since February, with mix of both Tomahawk/Powerglide (A9K-48X10GE-1G-TR) and Lightspeed+ (A9K-20HG-FLEX-TR) cards; using mix of 400G-FR4, 100G-LRs and 10GEs. 

So far no problems, besides some cosmetic issues (constant syslog spamming of plat_sl_client), but we're not doing anything complex, just IP traffic.
