You’re completely full of shit, as it’s just simply not the case that you’re “supposed” to run experimental features in production. But run it carefully??? What does that even mean? You obviously have zero experience on either side of the equation.

Nnnnnot really? Nginx literally asks for people to do that. Here they are announcing that experimental QUIC/HTTP3 support: https://www.nginx.com/blog/our-roadmap-quic-http-3-support-nginx/

You'll notice they literally outright ask

If you run large‑scale Internet services, experiment with A/B testing by deploying nginx-quic for some users or some services.

They literally ask for you to try it in production, so... yeah, you're supposed to use this experimental feature in prod. As for 'run it carefully', just that- don't just fire it off and assume all is good, keep an eye on it like the say. A/B deploy it, see how it works, and let NGINX know if you happen to run into anything.
