Any one have any experiences using these vouchers in regards to these concerns?

I've bought many of the hot selling deals and from my experience haven't really had any issues with any of them. You obviously can't walk into a restaurant on a Saturday night and expect a table right away, but as long as you call and make reservations a week or so in advance, you should be good to go. Most of the vouchers never expire or don't expire for a year so there's no immediate need to use the vouchers right away. The crowds slowly die down over time as more and more vouchers are redeemed. The restaurants are going to be busier then normal, so the servers may not be attentive if the place was dead, but the significant savings more then makes up for it.
My wife buys a lot of the yoga and fitness deals and she mentioned the class sizes are usually about the same (slightly higher). Most of the places that sell a lot of vouchers usually open up additional classes and sessions to handle the demand.
I hope this addresses your concern.
