at some point you risk taking on maintaining the project, which may sound great to some people. i've worked places that bought a company to own a product we used that cost too much in maint contracts. I did cloud SaaS "1 week free demo" platform for that product so our company could recoup the cost of bringing on the maintenance burden in-house. I get the aversion to the risk of using new/untested/fringe products that you may be the only entity that actually can keep it running. I'm not a "developer". I am a ham. I am not a hamster.
