This is of course up to you to decide, but I feel like I should 
encourage you - 10.x isn't that scarry as it seems to be. I also run it 
on a production (though my production may be not as harsh as yours), - 
this is a main router for a LAN consisting of 500+ machines, it also 
runs a squid proxy with 200+ active users (AD integrated, winbind, 
kerberos and stuff) and a HFSC traffic shaper. Plus, a bunch of routing 
protocols - ospf, ospfv3 and a load of network services like 
SMTP/HTTP/DHCP. Plus, it's a zfs installation.

At least, after upgrade from 9.1-STABLE to a random -CURRENT I didn't 
notice any degradation, only improvements. I had all of your fears right 
before the upgrade, none of it became real.

Eugene.
