HashiCorp Adopts Business Source License

The very first lines of the license text say that you're permitted to use the software for "non-production use".

Clearly states that you can use it in a production setup.

Thanks for pointing that out, so this must have been added by Hashicorp then.

That's the point of the BUSL. It defaults to non-production, use, but the licensor adds an Additional Use Grant that allows production use, which typically covers everything except competing with the licensor's cloud offering.
