Yes, they work.  We've got a Qualstar 4210 with an AIT-1 drive on board:

<SONY SDX-300C 0400>               at scbus1 target 5 lun 0 (pass4,sa0)
<QUALSTAR TLS-4210 1.30>           at scbus1 target 6 lun 0 (pass5,ch0)

As far as reliability, I haven't noticed any problems with the drive.  But
then we've only been using it for a couple of months.  I think the tapes
are expensive, but I suppose the price is to be expected.  The changer
occasionally gets confused/jammed when putting tapes in the drive, but
that hasn't happened very often.

Qualstar is:
