Interesting.

I have an LCIII, running a non-ethernet version of jpw's kernel, and have
had no problems with it (except of course that ethernet support does not
work...).

I have to admit I have made limited use of the computer so far, but I did
manage to configure and build perl5, a fairly involved process, with no
trouble.

This is incidentally with the 'old' scsi driver.

Specs:

LCIII
FPU
12M RAM
850M external D2 SCSI
System 7.5/Booter 1.8
Asante MacCon LC ethernet card (doesn't work - jpw built me a special kernel)

If you want to try the kernel I'm using, it's the one in jpw's ftp
directory called netbsd-noae or some such.
