TL;DR: Would we now recommend deb.d.o over httpredir.d.o for production use e.g. in base images (including for Jessie)?

The web page still says Experimental (so I would assume "not production yet") and I'm not really sure if there will be a distinction between >=Stretch and <=Jessie in this regards. It looks like Jessie and earlier get a fallback mode of operation, but is that mode of operation suitable to be recommended for production? If not deb.d.o then what would people recommend these days?
