Its technically in the "frontier" stage, which means that its in "beta" of sorts. There are lots of developers working on Ethereum dapps and it is more than useable, however consumers should be aware there may be loss-causing bugs around.

  Who would use a beta version of a crypto product in a production setting?

  Why does there have to be large scale production use while it's in beta? Bitcoin's genesis block was mined in 2009, but it took years for it to come out of "beta" and see production adoption. Ethereum adoption actually is already outpacing Bitcoin's adoption. Ethereum has only been live since July of this year, and already has seen adoption by numerous corporations (even if it's largely development projects at this point). For example Microsoft Azure Blockchain as a Service runs Ethereum. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/ethereum-blockchain-as-a-service-now-on-azure/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/ethereum-blockchain-a...
