Some people do run -current in production, but most of those understand the risk and:
  • don't have service level agreements (SLA) with their customers which requires solid uptime.
  • have enough redundancy in their topologies which counterbalances the loss of key systems.
It's your choice as to whether you run -current in production, but if it breaks, you get to pick up the pieces.

My suggestion to you is to develop a disaster plan which takes into account systems which need to be replaced/rebuilt. If it is acceptable for your Website to crash & be down for a month, then you don't need as stringent a disaster plan as other sites which exist only to facilitate business. If their sites go down, they don't make any money.
