I'd say it is, at least for server side, assuming we are talking about
lunar here. Lunar still need some tweaking on x86_64 for desktop users
but we're getting there. I've been runing x86_64 since the first release
on a couple of servers, no issues. With this said 64-bit is not the
solution to all problems though ;)
