I don't get it.
Why are you asking whether linux audio is ready for production usage?
There are already commercial products using linux audio for production usage.
There are already studios using linux audio to produce music for money.

Doesn't that answer the question?

The real question is: why didn't the blender-project use free linux audio 
tools for the soundtrack?
And the answer is there in the response from composer: They aren't normally 
working with linux audio and couldn't afford (mostly due to time constraints as 
they say for themselves) switching linux audio. Which I can understand. And 
which you have to fight, because ideally all projects have a fixed time-frame 
and if you don't start with using linux at one time, you will never...
