Miguel,

  Having designed and implemented quite a few MPLS-VPN
  networks over the past two years, I can tell you that it is working
  and it is a great technology. (I don't want to start a war here....
  I'm not saying it is better nor the only technology....;-))

  Of course, it can be prone to problems, but not a whole lot
  more than any reasonable size IP networks. Of course, you
  have to run BGP, therefore you might have BGP problems.
  You'll probably have to run OSPF or ISIS, so you'll probably
  have OSPF or ISIS problems. But all in all, I think the problems
  it addresses are worth the bumps you'll hurt in doing so.
  One thing to watch out for is the hardware....experience
  shows that it can be very hardware dependent....
