Having just fixed a nasty tuning bug in HackRF firmware, I have some tips for anyone using RFFC5072 (or any integrated synthesizer/mixer from Qorvo) in their project.
Tip #1: Use our code. We've used RFFC5072 for 14 years in the HackRF project, and I think every open source implementation is based on ours. We've learned some things over the years, so it's probably best to start from our latest work.
