Opinion about full-stack web app teams? (self.experienced_devs)

What is your opinion about full-stack teams? I'm referring to teams where the desire is for every member to competently contribute at every point in the stack.

Do they work?
What has been your experience?
Does team size and/or experience level inform your opinion?
Do you notice an increase/decrease in quality?
Do you notice an increase/decrease in team and product cohesion?

In your experience, is success dependent on each member (or most members) being T shaped?

It's dependent on many members being T shaped. Not all, and I don't know if "most". But you need enough to handle the basic flow of the system and interact with all of the specialists.
