Is Node.js ready for business critical applications?

I was just reading More proof that enterprises love Node.js and wondering:

Should enterprise consider using nodejs for business critical applications?

It seems cloud computing companies like Joyent are fully on to it. Even Microsoft have started supporting nodejs on their Azure platform. I would like to know how seriously should we consider nodejs for enterprise application? Is it ready for mission critical applications?

Dow Jones is using it for quite a few products now: WSJ Mobile, WSJ Portfolio, Streaming Stories, DJ X, and a few smaller projects. Within this next year almost all our web apps and pages will be on node =) We are constantly beefing up our node stack.
