I have about 50 sites ranging in versions from 2.5 up to 2.11 of ExpressionEngine. All are running on MySQL 5.6.35 at the moment. I am debating about upgrading out server to use MariaDB 10 but wanted to see if there are any known issues with older version of EE before I do so.

I run it on a Vagrant box and it seems to work fine.
I seem to be running maria on a few cloud servers without any issues
I use Maria DB for both EE2 and EE3 and have set my default storage engine as Aria. Granted, for some tables, EE still uses InnoDB but its not been an issue. I did some limited testing and found that Aria seemed to be a bit faster and I like the crash safe features and relatively easier configuration.
