I had to implement the itimer heartbeat to get Qwaq forums running on Linux running pre 2.6 kernels, but had many other problems to solve as a result (ALSA, database connects).
One can never be sure when it comes to linux but at least in theory any post 2.6 kernel should be ok - as an example the Raspbian distribution has no problems with the thread priority changing. Apparently that corresponds to around july 2011 at the worst. So anyone running a system newer than that ought to have no problem. Anyone running a system older than that probably has other interesting problems.
