But if you start off on something like an Arduino, you'd "just" convert it to a custom board running an AVR (or ARM with the newer ones?) on the way to production, or are those that bad to use in serious designs?

Right. This is a good path to take.

It's more a problem if you start on something big like Artik/RPi/Edison and try to downsize later. You'll find yourself locked in to that vendor's software stack.

Or if you try to ship 10k devices with whole RPis inside.
