It's not so much the stability, but the performance. If your working set will sit mostly in the cache tier and won't tend to change then you might be alright. Otherwise you will find that performance is very poor.
Only tip I can really give is that I have found dropping the RBD block size down to 512kb-1MB helps quite a bit as it makes the cache more effective and also minimises the amount of data transferred on each promotion/flush.
