If it were up to me generally not. Though to be honest we'd really need to do some sort of proper testing for some of the low-latency stuff to see if it can match what the current Intel kit does.
I like the phrase "bureaucratic inertia". Sums up what happened when we did agree on moving to AMD for a QA env, only for the devs to u-turn as they got scared that it "wasn't what they had in prod". Even though it won't be used for performance testing use.
