Not that I know of. 

We could definitely do such a run now...

Well, I have been running rawhide full time here, and I wouldn't say
that. There has been breakage, but IMHO it's all be reasonably minor
and easy to work around. Perhaps it's more so with your HW?
Without more details it's hard to say more here...

Adam and I both hit this:

I'm seeing it only sometimes. ;( It needs someone seeing it to help
debug.

I've seen this here on debug kernels. It's the touchscreen on this
laptop bouncing on and off the usb bus. systemd is waiting for it which
sometimes takes a minute. Upstream is aware and working on it.
