I'm running WM6.1 (one of sanjay's ROMs, to be exact) on my now-perfectly-functional (well, except for the backup battery) hx4700, and it runs great! (Normally, I'd stay with WM2003SE, but I HAD to try out Opera Mobile 9.5 on it...) I don't notice a lot of filesys.exe compaction slowdown, and when it does hit, it doesn't feel too severe. (When it's not running its course, it feels pretty snappy-about the same as WM2003SE.)
I can definitely confirm that iLauncher will work, as well as PocketBreeze. I haven't tested Resco Keyboard Pro since I never use it(I only got it as part of a pack that also includes Resco Explorer and Resco Photo Viewer), but it should still work. I don't use TomTom or any other GPS software, so I can't comment on that(though they all should still work).
It's just too bad that no one can get SDHC out of the SD slot...then again, I can always get myself a nice, spacious, 32 GB CompactFlash card while using the SD slot for something else.
Overall, I'd say that the move to WM6.1 is worth it if you don't mind any possible hits to responsiveness and want to use new apps that aren't WM2003SE-compliant(Opera Mobile 9.5 in particular, though there are others).
