Hi, John, in my experience:
DO: constrain multipliers *accurately* (don't over or under constrain)
and Design Compiler will do a good job meeting that constraint.
DON'T: flatten or remove hierarchy in a design with a multiplier.
Also, you will need a DesignWare licence to get the faster multipliers.
