Upgrading WLC to deal with WPA2 "KRACK" seems like a nightmare

So due to the WPA2 "KRACK" thing happening about a month ago we've been looking at upgrading our HA-paired WLC 8540 to partially deal with the problem from the infrastructure side.

We're currently on the 8.2 train and we don't want to take too big steps forward at a time so we've been looking at 8.2.166.0 and 8.3.133.0, both who are supposed to deal with the KRACK problem.

Looking at the currently Open Caveats for both releases I'm starting to kinda not wanting to upgrade... there are multiple big thing giving me nightmares.

8.3.133.0 has fewer bugs overall but really serious stuff like this. Apparently I should be worried the NICs of the WLC won't work after the upgrade? What the f----

8.2.166.0 has a GIGANTIC list of Open Caveats, many of them just a serious as the bug above with WLCs crashing left and right... AP 2700 series seem to run like shitif all these bugs are to be believed and we mainly have those.

How are all of you dealing with the problem? Anyone running any of these versions without big trouble?
