I've been running a Xen Dom0 and several DomUs on a lenny system for
several months now without problem. The Dom0 did panic once, but that was
several kernel updates ago and hasn't happened since.
FWIW, this is a machine without hardware VT, amd64 kernel and userland. I'm
currently running a slightly older kernel release on the Dom0 and DomUs
(2.6.26-11) because the system hasn't been restarted for ~3 months.
