In our fleet at least (NEOs), we have FLS, which precludes RNP approaches. RNP approaches with radius-to-fix legs requires FINAL APP mode, which does not play well with FLS. An update is supposedly on the way that will change that... but apparently FLS will still only work for straight-in approaches.
