Sure, maybe not bullet proof but darn close!
All the PowerMac users I talk to that own a business and used the platform, all used the PCIe single processor system.
When the HW was like 5-10 years old, but we are pushing 20 years even on the newest stuff.
So far I haven't had a full age related failure with a PPC Mac and I do have plenty to go around for a while, but there is no question that this will become an issue and a big one with non standard parts, like PSUs or odd sized fans.
There is also the issue that we have reached the performance ceiling for PPC HW and short of drastic changes usability on the net will slide backwards no matter how much work gets poured into Wayfarer.
