Welcome to commercialised Linux ?

Seriously, I wouldn't run Fedora in a production environment, not
*because its bad* (its not), but because Redhat does not offer
commercial support like they do for RHEL.

That said, if you dont have a support contract today, then its hardly a
problem  is it ?   - just make whatever commercial decision makes sense
to you.

[or find a different linux/a different consultant]
