1) what is your subfloor...the most problems I have heard of & seen are installation on slab (& have seen problems with new slabs with vapor barriers & older with most likely none...I was very interested in the slab installations, as our house is on slab & I really wanted wood or bamboo (always had wood in the past)....after more than 2 handfuls of buckeled wood on slab & no smooth wood on slag (maybe those with smooth floors do not complain & just that the floors do not appear "wrong"...) - we went with porcelain tile...
2.) there were some concerns about 7 years ago about bamboo floors all buckling....but have seen some that look good...so either there was a process to make them that did not work, or a mfg was send bad stock, or the installers figure it out, or the naysayers 7 years ago were wrong... take your pick
