i think MikroTik Lack of validated network design guidelines is the main reason of ccr1072 deployment miscarriages
i have "rescued" several docens of ccr1072 which were at doorstops
i think in most cases misconceptions about product scaling drove customers toward flawed network designs

We are talking about two completely different things.
Underperformance due to not understanding the product and its limitations is one thing.
Random reboots all the time is another completely different thing. There can only be two conclusions you can arrive at after experiencing such an event: a software bug, or a hardware fault.
The original poster was running 6.47.x, which is "new" enough in the 6.x series that it is fairly mature. I certainly do not see known-good CCR1072 units randomly rebooting themselves when running recent 6.x code on them, regardless of configuration.
And there are definitely defective 1072s out there. The threads that I linked to CLEARLY show a hardware fault. CCR1072 should NEVER show a total RAM number other than 16GiB. And there are an uncomfortable number of reports from an awful lot of people.
In my experience, these faulty/defective 1072s can experience instability or incorrect RAM count...and often both go hand-in-hand. The last unit that we tried to RMA will sometimes show all 16GiB when booted, and sometimes show less. And if I reset it to defaults, and then initiate "/tool bandwidth-test 127.0.0.1", it will crash and reboot itself in 5 minutes or less. A different 1072 that I take off the shelf and perform the exact same test on with the exact same RouterOS version absolutely does not crash when I bandwidth-test to loopback. It just absolutely should not happen. So the hardware in this particular unit is clearly faulty...which MikroTik themselves confirmed when they analyzed it and then blamed us for killing it with "overvoltage" (not true).
And this is not the only 1072 we have witnessed these kinds of symptoms on. It is shockingly common, leading me to think that there is a high manufacturing defect rate on these things.
