Thanks for your work on the reproducibility challenge - we read your results and found them interesting. The good news is that we had a lot more success, although it took many months of work to really make it sing, and bringing in AdamW was an important part of the success. Note that the super-convergence paper has been greatly improved through the recent 1cycle work, which includes a lot of important points to make it work in practice.
We tried the most divergent datasets and architectures we could think of, including even AWD-LSTM and QRNN. We got great results for pretty much everything we tried.
(We didn't try ResNeXt, since it's so slow in practice, or VGG or AlexNet, since they're largely obsolete. We did look at inception-resnet-v2; I'll have to go back to check to see the results, but IIRC it worked quite well.)
