Online backups - no problems?

Can anyone describe their experiences recovering large databases
that had been backed up in online mode? Were there any
synchronization problems or referential integrity anomalies?
Did every tablespace need to be backed up - even rollback
segments? Were there any special complications with the system
tablespace? The Oracle documentation seems a little
half-hearted in their description of online backups - as if
a last resort. Wouldn't everyone always want to do online
backups? Is the extra redo log baggage the only drawback?
We are concerned that we will discover the bad drawbacks at the
moment of crisis (recovery) and wish it were discussed in more
detail. TIA
(p.s. - have read the Loner book)
