I gave the RPI2* a miss, but I've been running my RPI3B+ on 12 since ~June 22nd
(starting with the -RPI3-20180618-r335317 download image).  I wouldn't describe
the RPI3 as being flaky (hardware-wise, *), and I'd say that 12 has been pretty
good for being "current" (vs stable).

I expect to follow 12-current down into stable and then release as that process
starts over the next few months, so I expect any transient OS flakeyness to get
better.

And I'm not using any hats.  Yet, at least.  So pretty stock setup, with the
exception of ZFS root and real swap partition.

    *:	I've been experimenting with ZFS and compiling kernels on it for stress-
	testing, so I've had a fan aimed at it to try and reduce any thermal
	throttling.
