I don't use them on my road bike now because my wheels already had rim tape, but I've used them on my mountain bike for several months now (w/about 500 miles) and no problems to report.
For a road bike, it seems like the higher pressure would cause the rim tape to dimple a bit through the holes because the tape is thinner than regular cloth tape, but I think the dimples will be so small, if any, as to not cause any problems. I'd say go for it.

I just put those on my latest wheels (Mavic/Record). Haven't looked since their install a few hundred miles back. They just use a thin nylon strip instead of Velox's thicker cotton web. I don't notice any difference and hope not to.
