This probably won't help much, but I wouldn't call any system
"production ready" until I've tested it as thoroughly as possible and
qualified it myself for the purpose I intend to use it. I wouldn't
blindly trust and drop an operating system on production servers, no
matter how good the feedback from outside my organization sounds.

As far as FreeBSD release engineering goes, I believe all -RELEASE
versions are aimed at maximum stability. But obviously no person or
organization can ever test all possible hardware, software and settings
combinations.
