Ping across? Sure. Ok. But I wouldn't rely on it for anything critical.
Well that's certainly interesting. You will not see me sticking up for MikroTik's documentation, ever. I don't think the table reflects the reality of ROS 7, there's even a note that "Routed traffic does not work to odd address" in one version. I know that to be false, because, well, I do this in production, and I suspect I would have noticed if the niche functionality of "routing" suddenly stopped working.
Maybe this document refers to the literal configuration of a /31. But I always configure them as point to points, as I mentioned before. But there again, in the documentation, that ability is totally missing... great.
I would 100% concur that Mikrotik documentation can be spotty. That said, what you choose to do on your network is of course totally up to you. Personally, I would not use MikroTik's /31 implementation in mine.
