I would not advise putting a beta on anything mission critical.  In
fact I would not advise putting it on anything mission critical until
it has been fully released for a few months (or at least weeks) and
you have tested it on (ideally) identical hardware to your production
machine.

Certainly, but not on mission critical machines.
