I've been using it for about 6 months to tie together remote video
streaming servers in a star pattern with a vxlan overlay running on top of
the wireguard connections. I mostly push low latency video over the
connections.

I've only had an issue once which was a bug resulting from some refactoring
work, and Jason immediately pounced on it and had a fixed release out
within a few hours. Honestly, a project with a maintainer that takes
ownership of the code base like that imparts much more cred than any
"stable" or "production ready" label does.
