I think that any technologies can pose a non boring challenges. These tend to happen when a technology is used at scale, or with an unusual use cases.

yes, that is true but i think that supports the point: use boring tech to solve interesting problems.

i think it that the definition of 'proven' technology smells of silos: if you come from the Java world, then everything else is not relevant, same for php/python, same for the nodejs world.

true, it's a matter of judgement. i don't think that chosen software has to be proven in general, but if i chose it i want to be sure that i can trust it myself. everyone is free to make up their own criteria what that means for them. it's a risk assessment.
