Yup, lots of people do. Currently supporting 28 such systems (from 20
to 76 TiB, most are 39.7 TiB).

I never had any trouble running xfs_repair on 39.7 TB+ systems with 8 GB
of RAM.

Sure, however 32 bits clients may scoff sometimes, though it's limited
to some weird programs.

Nothing unusual (inode64,noatime, mkfs with lazy-count enabled, etc). It
should just works.
