You mean more than OpenStack in general? :) The LBaaS API in Neutron has been working fine since Havana. It's certainly has shortcomings and it seems there is a big refactoring in plan, though.

That's to be expected. nova-network is going to be supported, but you won't get new features for it.

There are 4 resources related to neutron load balancing. OS::Neutron::LoadBalancer is probably the least useful and the one you can *not* use, as it's only there for compatibility with AWS::AutoScaling::AutoScalingGroup. OS::Neutron::HealthMonitor does the health checking part, although maybe not in the way you want it.
