I have yet to see anything other than amd64 really be super stable and reliable. I am sure there is a server somewhere based on aarch64 but I just do not see the point. I would much rather see IBM POWER9 as a real solid option but that requires 16M USD and a well paid team of engineers for a year or two just to get a reasonable beta.
