Tertiary mirror still slow
Primary and secondary are flying. The tertiary mirror still feels rough — 250-300ms p50, occasional handshake retries. I get that it's the failover and that's on slower guards by design, but if it's the only one a user happens to hit they will think the market is broken. Knocking one star off for that. Otherwise no complaints.

Anti-DDoS challenge confused me at first
First time I hit the “Checking your browser” page I almost backed out thinking it was a phishing trap. It's not, it's the legitimate L7 challenge. Ten seconds and you're through. The page should probably say “Nexus is checking your browser” explicitly to avoid scaring new users.
