FC4 is meant to be ready and it works fine for thousands of people. But it's unsupported software, not really intended for production server work, although many of us use it that way. Basically, some people will have trouble with it, and you seem to be one of the unlucky ones. When you ask a question like yours on this list, you're very likely to get a bunch of people saying "it works fine for me!" and a bunch of other people sharing stories of all the trouble they've had with FC4. I wouldn't upgrade a server based on hearsay like that. Instead, you should write in to the list with the specific problems you're having, and see if you can get them sorted out. If you get enough of them sorted out, maybe you'll start feeling more comfortable with FC4, and then you might be ready to upgrade.
