Can't disable DTrace :)

Though DTrace is "only" available on Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, illumos, and FreeBSD.

Oracle has relicensed DTrace to be Linux-friendly and even made kernel patches, but it'll probably never end up in the mainline kernel.

On Linux you can use bpftrace which is basically the same thing with slightly different names.

Is it stable and production ready for heavy duty workloads?

Microsoft ships it, so I assume so? I haven't personally ran any versions beyond Windows 7, I can't directly comment on any features after that.
