We've upgraded our ZK installation to 3.4.5 (by using the apt package from CDH) about a month ago and have been running it since without much issue.
In our case, the only problem is that our previous installation of ZK had unlimited client connections (maxClientCnxns=0) and the vanilla CDH installation defaulted this setting to 50, so we hit connection limits in our particular environment. We raised that config value higher and have been running smoothly since. As for the snapshot retention, we chose not to use ZK 3.4.x's built-in clean up capabilities because the cron job we already had was more flexible (with different retention times for snapshots and transaction logs).
