We're currently checking all in and out's to using xml as datasource in FM. Am I right in assuming that each xml file will have to be configured as a datasource? Did anyone run into (which) issues compared to using a relational datasource based on SQL underneath?

Yes, you're right, you have to define one datasource for each XML file/stream.

Keep in mind that compared to relational DBMS all calculations have to be done locally on the report server what might require more resources.

Also the format of the XML file is restricted to the fix row/column format.
