1) Most Antminers (including the S4, S5, and S7, and possibly the S3) have problems with p2pool, and will lose hashrate and become unstable unless you use a special firmware. These problems were fixed with the S9, but during the earlier generations, p2pool lost a lot of hashrate.

I've used a dozen S1's and one S7 with P2Pool and haven't noticed any lost hashrate. Is this an accepted thing? Should I be looking into that special firmware?

I use Kano's firmware with the S3 and have observed no problems. I never tried mining on p2pool without Kano's firmware installed. I have not noticed any issues with the S7-LN losing any hashrate on p2pool.
