We use 1.6 in production on AWS i3.16xlarges and it's great. We've seen a reduction to less than half the nodes and over 100k per node requests/sec (up from 4k req/sec for Cassandra). Very few issues and those that come up get immediate attention from core developers that actually wrote the code you're having issues with.
I've released the latest .NET API too for the dozens of us that use .NET with Consul. It features full (.NETStandard 1.3) support of Core in this version! https://www.nuget.org/packages/Consul/0.7.0

Absolutely 100% recommend.
