(OP)
Are there any pitfalls to be aware of when specifying high early strength concrete? Or any thoughts, comments, or experiences with it that you'd care to share? Thanks in advance.

If the supplier and contractor are diligent and capable, you can get a good product.
Attend to thermal concerns due to excessive heat and sharp temperature gradients in members. Fast strength development means heat is generated faster and needs to be dissipated more quickly. This can apply in members smaller than those typically associated with mass concrete.
