No. All of the above have been fine - save hibernate. Standard kit is a multidevice logitech bluetooth keyboard and mouse... no issues. A couple of the devs on my team use bluetooth headsets, and that too is no problem. The LG Gram gets about 16-19 hours on a battery, so we've not had drain issues. Audio hasn't been a problem. We did have issues with hibernation when we switched, and solved it by disabling hibernate, and setting the machine to sleep when the lid shuts. I've left my laptop in the bag, sleeping all weekend and had 70% battery on Monday morning. Incidentally, the battery is really not critical... 65W USB3 chargers are cheap so we mostly run plugged in.
Your mileage may vary. Incidentally, LG is making a great machine right now. Huge 17" display, metal case, keyboard has a numeric keypad, great battery life, and it weighs 1 oz more than a 13" Macbook Pro. Oh, and lots of ports.
