I'm using them exclusively since TL pretest came out and they seem to
be working without any problem (but I have installed TL from a script,
not from MacTeX since I didn't want to download gigabytes just for
testing and I have already chosen to install x86_64 during
installation).

(Other users of ConTeXt distribution are also using the basic binaries
from TeX Live and there has been no error report so far. Well, we
spent several days trying to figure out why LuaTeX didn't
cross-compile and then one more day trying to circumvent a problematic
piece of code in ./configure ... and then exactly that piece of code
went away when AIX binaries didn't want to compile.)
