Limitations on sub-reports?

Functionally, I want to combine text information on the same report as a
a graphical representation of test results. I was thinking about
splitting the report effectively into two reports on the same page (not
necessarily the same size).

Somewhere I though I read that sub reports can be difficult to work
with. Before I start, I wanted to get a general feel about their
limitations.

Very few. The two major restrictions are that subreports do
not display their Page Header/Footer sections (nor accept
the Page event) and that multiple columns in a CanGrow
subreport must use Across then Down snaking. Most anything
else in the mind of the person creating subreports.
