Repeater mode is fully stable in my case.
Only drawbacks I've seen are the lack of hardware acceleration and that you can't connect to the "repeated" 5ghz network. Note that this was not possible before either (the 5ghz band was only used for the link between the two routers)
I'm running the repeater mode and can access the 5GHz band.
