WG] For some values of "fine" and "great" perhaps, but emphasis on the "lightweight" is important, as its suitability is heavily dependent on your intended use case. Use it with a few thousand routes and nothing particularly exotic as far as features go and you should be fine. However, there are sometimes little gotchas where established features (esp in MPLS) either are missing or behave differently in subtle ways compared with more traditional JunOS routers like the MX. Some of these are limitations in the Broadcom chipset and some are driven by customer demand prioritizing feature completion. Test carefully, and regard the higher-end multidimensional/route scale numbers with healthy skepticism.
