nonauthoritative answers:

"No" (not yet) and "it depends."

SMP does not work on Alpha/AXP (yet).

I'd say it depends on what you want your "production machine" to do
whether you would want to use a single-CPU Alpha and FreeBSD. I've been
running 4-current without any noticeable problems -- but it's not doing
much (Web & firewall/NAT). (PC164/EB164 21164-a)
