I just finished updating our debian servers 2 days ago to php 7.0.x and 
I haven't run into any show stoppers so far.  We are using php7.0-fpm 
and the config was the same as for php5-fpm.

The only reason (so far) that we have not moved up to 7.2 is we have a 
special addition to our Horde code that uses php-mcrypt, and php 7.2 
drops mcrypt because it hasn't been updated in over 10 years.

So I am in the process now of converting the mcrypt code to use the 
openssl library.  I will let everyone know when we have Horde running 
with php7.2-fpm (or fail to get it working).
