I really like Arch, but I wouldn't use it in production. Yes, the packages are up to date and there are not many problems with them. But did you try to rollback to previous version of a package? I had the problem on my personal laptop last year. There was no possibility to get a different version than the newest, which was broken (upstream's fault in this case). Luckily I had the previous version in my pacman cache and was able to install it. The package maintainers did a good job and the issue was resolved in something like 24-48 hours (from patching upstream to pacman). So nothing tragic for personal use. In a productive environment? A very big no. One to two full days are simply not acceptable in any kind and/or size of business. Yes, you would (and should) test the update before rolling it out to production and be able to mitigate the problem, but you can't be sure, because you can't pin the version you want to install. Ok, you could build your own repo and package everything you need yourself. But it takes time and costs a lot of money. Also automated deployment of Arch is a little bit of a headache.
