We run on the order of a thousand Cassandra nodes in production. Most of that is 3.0.16, but new clusters are defaulting to 3.11.2 and some older clusters have been upgraded to it as well.
All of the bugs I encountered in 3.11.x were also seen in 3.0.x, but 3.11.x seems to get more love from the community wrt patches. This is why I'd recommend 3.11.x for new projects. Stay away from any of the 2.x series, they're going EOL soonish and the newer versions are very stable. Tom van der Woerdt Site Reliability Engineer Booking.com B.V.
