Hi Jake, I'm sending this privately, because I wanted to tell you my opinion frankly.
I don't know about the .6 series or .74, but so far, all of the .7 series of cassandra has been a disaster. I would think twice about switching to anything in .7 series to production until things stabilize and at least one reasonably large site starts using cassandra .7. Jonathan claims reddit is using cassandra, but it can't be a good experience with the type of bugs that have been found. .70 had data corruption issues .71 also had data corruption issues, had major issues with anything over 2 gigs in memory .72 issues with reading properly .73 had major issues with anything over 2 gigs in memory, had issues with performance due to flushing rules being broken, many people had huge issues with large amounts of insertions, and a few had startup issues. .74 too new to say. In either case, do a lot of testing for your use case before switching as things in the .7 series are still way in development. I've talked to Jonathan about putting it into beta status because of the severity of the bugs, but so far, there has been no decision to do so. Good luck.
