Has there been any reliabilty issues...

It's better than the current Phenom II Quads, but there socket itself is probably going to die next year. The currently available CPUs for socket 1156 seem to be the high end ones, and while there will be lower end (Core i3) released for it the upgrade path seems almost non existent.
 
They are clocking like 920's with a little experimenting

The socket 1156 does have a SMALL upgrade path thats been announced with a "S" version of the current chips eg i7 860s which will have a lower TDP than the current revision.Other than that we dont know for 1156
