Would I? Yes, I would. We're primarily a .Net / MSSQL shop, our DBA's are all familiar with MSSQL and all but a handful of our applications (internally developed or purchased from a vendor) use it.

We just build a giant new MSSQL cluster using AlwaysOn, configuration management with Windows Server Failover Clustering (which AlwaysOn is built upon for some low level functionality) is a HUGE pain in the butt. If SQL Server 2017 was GA at the time I would have highly suggested we just go with RHEL because Pacemaker/Corosync is a lot easier to deal with.

Out of personal preference, I like PostgreSQL a lot better - but when your business already runs MSSQL having options for deployment outside of Windows Server is a welcome change.

As good as Pacemaker is I don't really like the look of using it to achieve HA for SQL Server. Hopefully this will be better in 2018.
