No I have not tried to etch a board. By "prone to problems" - what type of problems to you mean? The copper looked very clean... Is there a bit of silicone left on the copper that prevents the copper from etching good?
Wait, you said ground planes and wide traces - that would indicate the toner portion gave problems - etched thru the toner? I did notice the ground plane had several light spots but thought that was due to toner cartridge was getting low.... Oh well - bummer I guess:(
I've got a couple of buddies who plan to make boards this weekend - we'll see how it turns out for them.
