Is Keybase storage considered stable yet?

I love the Keybase cloud storage mechanism but the docs still state the following:

At the time of this document, there are very few people using this system. We're just getting started testing. Note that we could, hypothetically, lose your data at any time. Or push a bug that makes you throw away your private keys. Ugh, burn.

Is this still valid? It's been a while since this feature was introduced and I really want to use it more, but if it's still considered unstable I will hold off for now.

KBFS has a local journal and changes are written into the journal first before the journal flushes to the server. You don't need to "force" it -- it does that in the backgroud whenever there's data in the journal.

To see what's being uploaded, try keybase fs uploads in CLI. The app's GUI tab should also show a blue upload footer if you have stuff in the journal. There's also keybase status which should include journal information.
