Bah.  There is nothing wrong with a working H.323 stack.  Just assuming
that they will have a working SIP stack because of the date can lead to
heartache.

The ooh323 channel has been fairly reliable in our use case, which involve
connecting to a commercial IP PBX with crud SIP support.  Only you can tell
if it will work for you however, as sadly many times new core features only
get tested against the SIP channel(s), or worse only implemented there as
well.  Our current Asterisk version is 11.5.1
