I am running 11.2.0 HF1 and that has been stable for me, but I am running it on a dedicated ASM box so I don't have LTM licensing. I upgraded from 10.2.0 and a couple of gotchas that I ran into that would pertain to the LTM side are listed below.

 

 

1. HTTP Compression is split into its own profile. If you have compression turned in any of your HTTP profiles you will need to turn it off, do the upgrade and then create seperate Compression profiles. My configuration completely bombed out when I tried to upgrade it straight up

 

 

2. On the SSL profiles Secure Re-negotiation is enabled by default which on the server side ended up breaking a lot of my server communication so I had to create another base serverssl profile and turn it off.

 

 

Those are the two major LTM related issues I remember all my other stumbling blocks were on the ASM side
