I use it here on a mid-sized academic cluster (~450 exec nodes), as I have
one research group that turns every desktop into a submit host.  Those
hosts only get certs for that group's users, so that a desktop compromise
only affects those users.  I'd feel a lot less comfortable without CSP 
mode.

I'd say so, given that the documentation is pretty incomplete and, as you 
say, questions are rare.
