I'm replacing an M10i with a CHR. 

I hope you have a newer RE so that you don't have worse BGP convergence than a CCR.

Unfortunately, yes. Thats why two Juniper M7is just arrived on my doorstep yesterday...

Is that actually still true nowadays ? Of course there is always the option of running RouterOS on an X86 for an 
effective solution as well.

Bad thing about the CCRs is that their BGP process is single threaded. So even though it has a bunch of cores, it 
doesn’t utilize them for BGP.
