We are considering upgrading our DeltaV system from 14.3.0 to 14.3.1 this year. Just looking for any feedback from anyone who has done this on a physical network. What issues did you run into? What to watch out for? Any Recommendations?

  Considering the fact that your v14.3.0 is not supported and there have been significant issues addressed in 14.3.1, and that the "engineering release" was supposed to be updated with the Service Pack once released, you should be more than considering doing this upgrade.
  
  Read the Release notes and latest Software Update KBA's.
  
  Do you have any EIOC, PK controller or SZ controllers? These use what is referred to as an EIP (Ethernet Interface Port?). These were enhanced with 14.3.FP1/14.3.1 and cannot be updated Online. These nodes will have to be done offline. Note that SIS logic solvers are not affected by the SZ upgrade, except if they are reading data from the controllers. M series and S Series controllers are unaffected by this and can upgrade on line.
  
  Were you using DeltaV Live? You will see significant improvements in Live and Graphics Studio. There are important issues resolved for Operate as well.
  
  Good Luck
