I don't think it would cause severe problem with the patch but it
was not heavily tested under various network load so this is the
main reason why I took precaution against applying it on production
box. If you're prepared to go back to old working kernel and it's
tolerable for small down time you may go that route.

As I said, the patch requires another patch that handles shared
interrupt with tagged status. I also have initial patch for that
but it needs more polishing and cleanups. Lack of controller that
has this issue also makes it hard to write patch. Your controller
has no such issue so I wanted to know whether you're seeing known
hardware errata or not.
