LANL are running with 8 x F800 series filers to Spectra Logic 64000 libraries with 16 x AIT-3 drives in each (can go to 32 drives in each), no problems.
There were firmware issues with AIT2, particularly if you source additional drives direct from Sony to put into an existing Spectra or Overland library. AIT-3 has been relatively trouble free.
What version of OnTap are you running?

What jukeboxes are people running on their filers, DLT, AIT-2, etc? Are you happy with what you've chosen? The last group of folks I worked with had a Spectralogic juke with AIT-2 and Netvault. It took way too long to get the problems with firmware on the juke and the drives working with the software.

They've been running 6.1.1R2. I believe that everything is working properly now. By the way, the drives did come directly from Spectralogic. The weirdness seemed to be between netvault and the drives.
