I also run FreeBSD 5.4 in production with no problems. I've only rarely
had problems after cvsup since the 2.2.7 days, and were always caught in
test.
It seems that how/what programs you run on FreeBSD is a main factor in if
you will have problems. This explains how one admin can have no problems,
and others have many.

Trust 5.4, it's stabler for me.
