Some people seem to manage to get it to work, but others encounter issues. I am not sure if there are clear views of when one can expect it to work.
I'm one of those it seems to work fine for. I run a database check every now and again (including a comparison with the files on disk) and haven't run into any problems yet. But as I haven't done anything special (just dumped the stuff on my NAS and pointed Calibre at it), I also have no idea why it works for me and not for others.

But like you say, the Big Man himself says 'Not supported; on your own head be it!', so if the OP has issues with it, well, 'don't do that, then'
