Fedora can be run perfectly well as a server provided it is kept up to date
on security issues.
Once it is running, and properly configured it will just sit there are work
provided you don't let do its own updates and even with the latest version
once it is properly set up it will work fine - in the weeks soon after a new
release then some tinkering is almost always needed.
Of course you can run version latest-1 (=n) and update it periodically and
then only install the next one when n+2 is on the verge of release, by which
time version n+1 is usually pretty stable.

I guess much depends on how familiar the person administering it is the the
details of cutting edge development.
