HPE OfficeConnect 1950 opinion

Greetings r/networking, have not been posting much but doing alot reading and require input.

I've been tasked to revamp the office network which comprises of:
2x 3750x stacked as a core and HPE 1810-24g switches at the edge/access.

Due to 802.1x requirements and age, we've decided to replace the whole stack.

Core would be 2x 2930M stacked w/10G uplinks to each floor with HPE-1950-24G for edge access.

We've decided to go with the office connect 1950 as they're stackable for ease of management. Switch would only be configured to run in L2.

Could anyone advise if the reported 802.1x issue with the switches are resolved - based on the R3208P16 firmware release?

I haven't done any 802.1x deployments - but our required goal is for wired LAN is to deny any non-company owned/non-domain joined laptops to connect to the wired network.

Authentication I understand would need to be by domain authentication via a NPS server.

My vendor claims that this setup doesn't work is this true?

Any input is welcome.
