I don't know that anyone here owns one yet. It certainly looks interesting.

I am looking at it for a band I sometimes work for. I need to control their mix from the house in situations where running a thick cable is impractical. There are competing solutions from Mackie and Behringer—the band is looking at all of them.

AVB problems are similar to Dante problems, you'll find more written about problems with Dante systems in live sound situations. I'd advise finding some stories on live sound forums. Great when it works (usually), different set of troubleshooting skills/outcomes from an analog system. CAT5e/6 is not all alike, you see failures with some makes of cable in some situations, very hard to parse the actual problem. OTOH, you can walk in almost any WallyWorld in the middle of the night and replace a CAT6 run that's been cut in half on a gig, unlike an analog snake. Will it work? Probably.
