The "supported" release of Armbian for the soPine works great on the baseboard - but on the released version networking doesn't work with it on the clusterboard. Once you fix networking it appears that this release is pretty solid. Only problem that remains is the hand-on-reboot. That one is puzzling to me...

<Xalius> edit
<Xalius> nano mystuff.dts

The fields to add are:

<Xalius> allwinner,rx-delay-ps = <500>
And here is a pastebin of where to add it, with it added.

After that reboot! And networking should now work with the mainline kernel, I am also going to see if there is a way to get this into future builds so you don't even have to think about it.
