Things *should* work just as well in -current as -stable, it's just that you will often need to update the whole system/packages before you can install some new package otherwise you end up with a broken mixture of old+new. If that is not a problem then it absolutely is suitable.for real usage. And in the cases where a new problem is accidentally introduced - that problem is going to end up in a release if theee is nobody running -current who finds it.
