Common Lisp has a decent (but not amazing) number of well supported libraries. It's usually not a problem, except for perhaps really enterprise-y stuff.
But Common Lisp is not the language to use in production (at least in a larger commercial
context!) if your primary need is CRUD or glue. It does fine at those things, but Lisp is better wielded at problems that require "power in the large", like building a new compiler, solver, simulator, or "engine" of some sort, for instance. For those, the programming language matters a lot more than the libraries, in my opinion.
I've had no issue using Common Lisp in production and employing teams to write and maintain it.
