For a home server/NAS (or PC that runs 24/7), it's a "maybe" for me. According to the article, power consumption of Ryzen 1500x(65W TDP) at core is about 49 watts, while the Intel i5-7400 (65W TDP) sits at 30 watts at the core under full load. The difference is significant enough, not just in electric power consumption, but also for CPU cooling/heat and noise consideration. As for desktop, I'd give Ryzen a serious consideration, but the motherboards are still at a premium or out of stock.

> the motherboards are still at a premium or out of stock. Premuim? Not at all. Compare AM4 motherboards with Socket 2011v3, and you will see a huge price difference. There are plenty of decent AM4 boards to be had around $100. The cheapest 2011v3 board on newegg.com is $140. Higher end 2011v3 boards approach $600. Out of stock? A quick glance at newegg doesn't show any out of stock. Where are you looking?
