We just got Magento 2.1.4 contains more than 20 functional fixes and enhancements, and one security enhancement. M2 is simplifying upgrade processes, reducing extension conflicts. It doesn't means M2 isn’t ready yet. M2 is upgrading, improving consistently. Firstly, I recommend to upgrade existing Magento 2.x to 2.1.4 latest version as soon as possible.
Back in November 2015 when M2 was released unknown Software Bugs were in M2 and few are still there. But I am sure M2 will become the market leading ecommerce website platform in a few years time. Success didn't come over night Magento 1 was first released in 2008 and it is still growing strongly here in 2017.
How Employer/Developer can manage?
1) Here, I am personally working on a big M2 website also running on production mode. We are finding bugs and it's taking time to resolving. But as a developer point I think this is right time to Learn things. We developers need to educate ourselves. Once developer will educated, question numbers will be decreased.
2) Website estimates are falling down with M2 learning. It's not a cup of tea, Many things are remain to come in M2. So, Employer be clear with estimates and with cost too when pickup.
Learning new things takes time. Developers and Designers have new arena to play and to build most complex extensions. Questions always raise with wrong estimations. We careful with your good business. Let us assume, M2 has become best over the next few months and in a year.
May be it's not right answer for this question. But it is a big hope, and good message, and also a good wish for M2.
