It would also be great if you guys can tell us if any issues come up after upgrading. Or an extended usage reports.

The only negative I've encountered so far is quite minor.  The nx11 mode dial was re-labeled compared to the nx10.  A few new modes were introduced and others were re-arranged.  Consequently, when using nx11 firmware, three of the icons on the nx10 mode dial no longer correspond with the mode selected.

The nx10 had dedicated mode dial positions for night, portrait and landscape modes.  With nx11 firmware, these are merely options included along with all the other scene mode options under the "scene" position.  The three mode dial positions thereby freed up were re-allocated as follows:

"Night mode" position became "Lens priority mode" (for use with with iFn lenses)

"Portrait mode" position became "Sound picture mode" where a voice memo may be recorded to accompany an image.

"Landscape mode" position became "Panorama mode

The major modes are unchanged.  As I rarely use anything other than aperture priority or manual mode, it makes absolutely no difference to me but it might cause slight inconvenience to anyone who uses the night, portrait or landscape modes.

Incidentally, I don't see any reason why one couldn't revert to nx10 firmware if not happy with the outcome.
