Plan 9 may have a decent security model, but it's never been audited.  Auditing a codebase, even one as small as Plan 9's, is a lot of work.  Are you willing to make a start on it?

If you want something free and already audited, with more security features, (but perhaps not quite the same convenience,) look into OpenBSD.

I love that *Open*BSD is so *security*-focused!
