Rod, While many here would probably say it's not a good idea to run servers on Devuan until a production release, I am already running it on a number of servers. I have a NAS, a CS 1.6 gaming server, and a couple of application servers all running Devuan without issue. Additionally, I'm running all of my desktops, including my Kodi server, on Devuan. I haven't had any out of the ordinary issues thus far. I would definitely give it the thumbs up for servers as long as you are doing your due diligence in the SDLC. I started all of my servers running Devuan in my development environment, and then promoted them up though Testing, QA, and then finally Prod. I would recommend that you definitely do a proper migration following SDLC and have a contingency, just as you would with any major migration. Best of luck.
