Disagree, and not just because of the GPL violations and security issues. There are enough subtle bugs (e.g. data corruption with hardware acceleration) and design flaws (e.g. overheating) that you are setting yourself up for intermittent bugs (a.k.a. trouble) if you don't have someone well versed in diagnosing network issues. It's powerful enough to do fun things in a home lab, but it's way too complex for a professional setting where there's nobody around with the skills to troubleshoot it.
