When I enabled this mod, JSGME warned me of several conflicts with RFB, and even LBO and OakGrooves Highres Inst. I just let it ride, and said yes to the overwrite. Haven't seen anything bad so far.
from what i know, the "highend" reflections don't eat fps at all they're not really highend as they don't have a higher resolution than the default ones, they just show up earlier and clearer. one downside (which is also visible when looking at landscape reflections near the horizon) is that, due to the low resolution the the reflection scene (the render-to-texture resolution i guess - not a 3d programmer so i don't know the correct vocabular to use), there is a bit of a flickering (aliasing) when looking at distant reflections. i guess that is the reason why the programmers decided to cut them completely. it's really a matter of personal taste if you'd like to enable them or not.
