If you know you need a load balancer, you go and look for one. If you happen upon one in a programming language you use, then it may be more appealing.
But if you don't do any research to find out if it is production ready, you aren't a production ready dev anyway. A disclaimer isn't going to save them.
Yes, if you will use anything that doesn’t say “NEVER USE THIS IN PRODUCTION. SERIOUSLY THIS IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY” then you are going to get burned by a lot more than a LB.
If you know you need a load balancer you should already know this.
