I don't know if you'll run into blockers. We on the Dart team effectively use Dart "on the server side" because all of our command line tools are written in Dart.
There are a number of external users using Dart this way too. I think it's mostly a question of expectation. If you are expecting an ecosystem like npm where there's already five thousand packages for every possible bit of functionality you could hope for, you might find things a little sparse on the ground right now in Dart.
But if you want to write most of the code yourself and just want to know if the base platform is stable and fast, then I think it will be fine.
