Gentoo is usable in production. Straps out extras. Only thing there is what you put there.

Seen it done and participated.



Production case study: ChromeOS is based on Gentoo.

I've also known a couple shops that run Gentoo as their distribution. Usually a central binary package host / build machine which makes it very easy to have a set of staging hosts. Just test package releases like normal before migrating them to prod.
