OpenJDK is comparable to Oracle Java SE in most cases and you get away with significantly lower costs. Oracle Java SE have some advantages in performance on some native platforms but in most cases the OpenJDK performance is similar or at least good enough.

Yes

Did implementation of OpenJDK go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy OpenJDK again?

Yes

OpenJDK is perfect if you are constrained by costs and can’t afford a commercial alternative. It’s less optimal if you need top notch performance on multiple native platforms. If you rely on third party libraries that rely on vendor specific Java implementation you might have trouble to use OpenJDK, but in most cases it’s not a major problem.
