Currently working on an iOS project using a similar system, which so far works great. A challenge I am facing right now is pathfinding in conjunction with synchronous multiplayer. Pathfinding can take a decent chunk of cpu time on lower-end devices, but you can't really multi-thread it since you need all players to calculate the same paths on the same simulation ticks lol... so might come down to rate-limiting the amount of units that can re-path on a given sim-tick. Making multiplayer games is fun lol... :)
