For TF2 the issues seem to be a mix of text being too small and it doesn't have the best gamepad support. However, in the case of Team Fortress 2 it's only mentioned that it's Playable.

Now I don't have a internet connection at home so I use my cellphone to go online at Egde or GPRS speeds. Considering Steam Workshop only recently shed its beta status for Valves cooperative zombie shooter, one would be forgiven for thinking it might be too early.
