Im sure I dont have to tell most of you... but just in case the remaining lot are curious, follow your gut! I let my upcoming Note 8 delivery get me too giddy and clouded my judgement.

DONT DO IT!!!

For 49 bucks, you can get a 256GB and a 64GB microSD card. The 64 one is stable. The 256 card is really a 16gb although its stamped with 256 (and identified by windows as 250GB Fat 32 drive).

The 256 gets errors past the 16gb data threshold. The 64GB is definitely stable.

I could have told you that before you got it.
