Not for anything important, no. For a fun side project, 1 compiler is fine. For a business that depends on a build chain, it's sensible to at least have a plan for switching. For a major OS kernel, even 2 compilers is too low for my comfort.

Should businesses who exclusively build iOS apps still be using Objective-C then, since Swift only has one compiler?

Honestly, that would give me pause if I were targeting iOS. It helps that if you're targeting iOS you already live and die at Apple's whim, so maybe that's a sunk cost; on the other hand, that's the kind of thing that would make me nervous about living in Apple's walled garden in general.
