We've been tracking this for a couple of months now (per-packet
spraying), and no issues to report, really.

The thing to remember is that if policing is done on a LAG interface,
without equal loading of traffic across all members of the link, you
would end up with a fraction of the throughput on that interface as
Junos equally applies the policer across all member links of the LAG.

With two member links, a bias of the hashing on one member means only
50% of the traffic gets through the policer. If three member links, 33%
of the traffic gets through, e.t.c.

So the per-packet mode has really helped here.
