I don't have personal hand-on experiences with ipsec issues. However, I
would expect things to work flawlessly as long as you don't enable
vendor specific features, or if you enable compatible features.

And I believe it will be even more differences if you try to use a
"tunnelled" setup versus a "transport" setup, where the tunnelled mode
will act more a like a SSL based VPN. If I have understood it correctly.
