I agree with you that you should pick a tool based on the project requirements, but you seem to imply that early-stage technologies are only suitable for science projects. A very simplistic perspective, and misguided advice for anyone facing such a choice IMHO.

Not at all.

If a tech - at any stage - meets business goals, then go for it. Having said that, its fair to say that early stage tech has risks (project being abandoned, etc) that do need to be considered.
