32GB (4x8GB) & motherboard compatibility

It's been 4 years since I last built a PC so forgive me, I know enough to be dangerous.

My problem is that I want to buy 32GB of RAM (specifically G.SKILL F3-10666CL9S-8GBXL(8Gx1)) for this new system but can't get a definitive answer regarding if the memory is officially compatible with the motherboard I'm getting - an ASUS P8P67 LE.

G.SKILL has a list of Qualified Motherboards right underneath the product on their website and my mobo is listed right there. However, when I talked to ASUS support they said it wouldn't be compatible if it's not on their QVL. But the thing is that I believe that QVL to be a year old. In fact, if you look through the whole list, there isn't one 8GB module listed on there. I asked him how could you possibly get to the 32GB maximum this board supports without ANY 8GB sticks. He didn't know.

So my question is, do I really need to worry about compatibility here? G.SKILL says it works and ASUS does indeed list their 4GB and smaller modules on the QVL.
