The problem with current fleet of Mikrotik devices is that while CRS3xx will be great for wirespeed routing, they likely don't have CPU powerful enough for firewalling at, say, 1Gbps (even if many connections will get fasttracked and thus HW offloaded). And I expect that users with 10Gbps LAN would have WAN with speeds around 1Gbps or more. Lack of HW offload for IPv6 is an issue as well (not for every user and hopefully not forever).
As to corporate environment ... well, vendors highly used in corporate environments have "L3 switches" that can do simple routing at wirespeed in their portfolios for quite some time now. I know their price is an order of magnitude higher than Mikrotik's but vendor swap is not cheap either (in various aspects) plus network admins have to be fluent enough in configuration language of the new vendor. I don't know how often that will happen, specially so with apparent problems with some Mikrotik's devices (I'm not saying other vendors don't have their share of problems, but when switching to another vendor the new one has to be pretty much better than the old one in every aspect).
