We buy them extensively and have had zero data problems with more than 300 parts in the field. Some switch/router manufacturers’ firmware poutily refuses to let you read snmp stats from any “unauthorized” SFPs modules, and some oem salespeople lyingly claim that using them voids your warranty, but this is just an attempt to keep customers captive to insanely overpriced OEM parts.

FS.com’s bi-di modules are particularly ingenious, letting you add bidirectional fiber to devices the oem manufacture doesn’t even sell optics for in an attempt to create artificial product segmentation.
