Do you have any issues with sites blocking the DO IP addresses? I ran this for a while and a number of sites block connections for coming from a data center.

Yep. DO is industry-blacklisted by the consortium of online content providers who collude on VPN ip-ranges. BBC, Netflix, Sky all are blocking it.

DO is also commonly blacklisted for being slow to deal with network abuse.

I used to build a DDoS mitigation product and we would regularly see 50+ Gbps of inbound attacks originating from DO.

If you want to set up a VPN from a VPS, consider something like LunaHost, it's what I use and I find less issues with it due to being far less known I'd guess.

While noting what the other commenters have said, I don't recall running into any blocks, though I don't visit the sites they mentioned.
