A couple of limitations of the Percona tool are related to changing data in tables with ON DELETE and ON UPDATE foreign key constraints and possible lock-ups of tables. It is a bi-directional replication tool, so it has to deal with the master-master replication case and as such does not guarantee data consistency.

Still the tool is helpful in many cases and congrats to Percona for developing it. Replication safety is a non-trivial problem in general.
