IMO Maria has fallen behind MySQL. I wouldn't chose it for anything my income depends on.
(I do use Maria at home for legacy reasons, and have used MySQL and Pg professionally for years.)

Can you give any details on that?
I switched to MariaDB back in the day for my personal projects because (so far as I could tell) it was being updated more regularly, and it was more fully open source. (I don't recall offhand at this point whether MySQL switched to a fully paid model, or just less-open.)
SKIP LOCKED was added in 10.6 (~2021), years after MySQL had it (~2017). My company was using MariaDB around the time and was trailing a version or two and it made implementing a queue very painful.
One area where Maria lags significantly is JSON support. In MariaDB, JSON is just an alias for LONGTEXT plus validation: https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/data-types/string-...
IME MariaDB doesn't recover or run as reliably as modern versions of MySQL, at least with InnoDB.
