I'd be cautious about v-groove or "Pizza cutter" depanelizations if
you've got any large-ish ceramic caps (> 0805) particularly if
the components are near the shear points. Routing would be
preferable.

Also, I'd be cautions about the same parts near any high insertion/
withdraw force connectors, or sockets, for the same reason (flexure
induced cracking of ceramic chip devices).

Good luck! The one good thing is you've had the experience of
thousands of component and manufacturing/assembly engineers
before you, who have all wrestled with this at least once in their
careers! :-)

Let us know how it works out...
John
