Choosing technology that's battle tested at scale and under crazy load seems extremely reasonable. Just from a "I need this thing not to have a shitload of bugs" perspective. If you were choosing between two libraries, and one was used by 5 people and one was used by 5 million, it'd be hard to go with the one that is used by 5 people even if it is a better fit for the problem.
