Yes, we use FOP build to generate all the PDF's for current versions
(starting with 9.5).
Output looks ok, though we need to use extra fop-config.xml with font
substitutions to get Russian letters in the translated docs
(e.g. http://repo.postgrespro.ru/doc/pgsql/9.6/ru/postgres-A4-fop.pdf).

Yes, we added JAVA_ARGS=-Xmx4096m to get the docs built on Ubuntu 14.04
(with FOP Version 1.1)
We also haven't encountered new problems on Ubuntu 16.04 (with FOP
Version 2.1). (This version prints some additional warnings, but the
resulting PDF looks valid).
Best regards,
Alexander
