I think a lot depends on your particular circumstances.

My server is a "production environment" in that it's publicly available, roughly
twenty people rely on it for the e-mail and several hundred more are members
of my mailing lists.

However, it is non commercial, i.e. funded out of my own pocket, and those
who have e-mail addresses are there either by their request or my invitation.

I feel perfectly justified in using self certification, as I am unwilling to
pay the considerable sum required for verification. It hasn't caused me any
real difficulties.

On the other hand, if I were the postmaster of a large organisation, I would
feel differently.
