Do you often make big decisions based on extrapolation from so few data points?

I use a major open source system with enterprise features and support but don't pay for any of those options. I've used it for 3 years and it's been invaluable. No pressure to start paying for anything. Some of its premium features have actually become free over that period. But I wouldn't decide that all open source systems with premium features are safe based on that experience.

If this costed roughly a million dollars, then yes. Especially if you're locked in like with a DB. I use nginx because even though it has this mode it would be easy to replace with something else.
