On n5k — when designed appropriately — I’ve not had an issue with ISSU. The process is actually pretty stable. This means adhering to design guides for things like bridge-assurance, STP, etc.
N7K was a rockier experience (when I was in the field). 5.0 -> 5.1 -> 5.2 transitions were rough — due to scheduler rebuilds with each release. Many things broke.
I can’t think of any of my customers today running vPC on n7k — as most of them have moved to either ACI or VXLAN-EVPN — so I don’t have any anecdotes from the field.
