It will appear to work in some situations, but I'm not confident, for
example, that if you change a user's password, that we will correctly
see that on the RODC. Also, preload due to a bad/missing Kerberos
password isn't implemented.
I'm sure some of our users are bold, and perhaps they have a real-world
experience, but I would like to see it backed by significantly more
tests before it was used in production.

Yes, preloading is something you will have to do per-user.
