I don't think that it's fair to suggest that QGIS Server isn't ready for prime time based on one user's difficulty with getting it set up. I am relatively new to QGIS and QGIS Server but I found the setup pretty straight forward and familiar, probably because I have used CGI, FastCGI and MapServer <https://mapserver.org/> a lot. If the tables were turned and I had to set up GeoServer on TomCat I'm sure that I would have a lot of difficulty, but that wouldn't mean that GeoServer was flawed. I've set up PHP on a lot of servers but when I have to do it on Windows IIS I need quite a few very strong cocktails afterwards.
