We are using about 10-15 of them without issues on 8.3 and 9.0 STABLE :

ix0 at pci0:6:0:0:	class=0x020000 card=0x7a118086 chip=0x10fb8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = '82599EB 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet
ix1 at pci0:6:0:1:	class=0x020000 card=0x7a118086 chip=0x10fb8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = '82599EB 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

Earlier versions had some issues with vlan tagged traffic, but now they seem pretty stable here.
