Reliability of SendFileToPrinter API?

Hello,

The SendFileToPrinter API website presents a concerning disclaimer:

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS FEATURE IS INTENDED TO BE USED BY OUR DEVELOPER AND INDEPENDENT SOFTWARE PARTNER COMMUNITY. WHILE WE STRIVE TO KEEP THIS PRODUCT UP AT ALL TIMES, THERE MAY BE SMALL PERIODS WHEN IT IS TEMPORARILY DOWN FOR MAINTENACE AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE DURING THOSE TIMES.

This reads as if the technology is experimental or in a beta state and should not be used in a production environment. I am curious as to how much this API goes down for maintenance and if Zebra has plans for making this a production-level feature.

Are others using this in a production environment? Our web app needs to trigger print jobs and the REST API approach seems more attractive than BrowserPrint.
