Used in production doesn't always mean used by all users of a public app that might go viral.
If you have an app with an admin interface/CMS/monitoring interface and you know there won't be 50 administrators for your app before the end of the year this works great (assuming you can reverse proxy this to add auth or something).

Intranets and other IP whitelisted resources are clearly a different topic entirely. Sites only intended for 50 administrators but are not hidden behind a firewall make me nervous for a whole other set of reasons but I accept that's got to happen sometimes (but even there, most of the best / developer friendly CRUD platforms these days aren't CGI so there is little reason to use CGI even for that specific use case).
