The answer is Hell No!
Fedora is no where near stable enough and secure enough.

I often recommend Fedora Server anytime I see folks using RHEL or

that is no longer in development. Fedora provides modern software and
is in active development with continuous bug fixes.
The "in active development" part is important. Old versions of
software and kernels just accumulate more unfixed bugs over time. Most
developers don't spend time on old versions of software, so the known
bugs don't get fixed. Adversaries love that property of old software.
That a pretty ignorant view of RHEL/CentOS.
Red Hat backports known bug fixes to the software in RHEL. It also has modules that are updated at a faster cadence, too.
Thank you for this piece of information.

I realize this is a Fedora list, but this kind of misinformation doesn’t really help Fedora. Many companies aren’t really interested in significant rearchitecting core parts of the service because of Fedora’s rapid pace. Just because it is the newest version doesn’t mean it has a backwards compatible API. New software also has new bugs, and less testing.
I do agree that Fedora Server is a powerful platform, and I use it myself. But I’d have a hard time arguing it makes sense for customers running enterprise services with project lifetimes extending for several years. Making them use Fedora would often result in companies running EOL versions, leaving a platform with even more security holes.
Both Fedora and RHEL/CentOS have their place.
