Yes but arch is not a serious production/server os. Although some of you may do it.

Most servers/business run on (not the latest) redhat/suse/debian/ubuntu and derivates. They dont have kernel versions that recent.

That just goes to show that Ubuntu and friends are not serious production OS. In what world is extended vulnerability to months-old bugs a legitimate prerequisite for production viability?
