Is it recommended in MMR setups to use delta-syncrepl before syncrepl in general?
It is by me.
Are there any disadvantages, like using more RAM, or other things to care..?
That depends on the backend, and your filesystem. If your backend is bdb/hdb, then the masters have to be tuned for both DBs with BDB. With all backends, there is increased write activity, so the filesystem selection can be significant, particularly if the filesystem used requires journaling.
I will note I've been using delta-syncrepl since 2005, and it has never had the abundance of issues present in syncrepl.
