I wouldn't run Arch on servers but as long as you exercise a little care with updates (like setting IgnorePkg directives for database packages in pacman.conf) it's fine for developer machines. My primary computer has been running Arch for a few years now and I've been quite happy with its stability. I've probably wasted more time clicking "remind me tomorrow" on OSX update nag screens and wrangling Homebrew than I have dealing with pacman fallout.
