kolla used to default to useing the eventlet services untill a few release ago (victoria).
so its a preferctly reasonable thing to do.

with that said i belvie some service removed the console entry point for using eventlet 
(keystone removed it in newton https://github.com/openstack/keystone/tree/mitaka-eol/keystone/server)
and some never supported that configuration (placement started as a generic wsgi app). 
there was a move away form supporting and shiping eventlet console script it over the years.

nova still provides one but its mostly deprecated at this point although i dong think it is offically.

we do not test it anymore and have not for several years at this point.

i think devstack can technially still deployit with nova-api but its been at least 3 or 4 years since that was
used in ci.

again kolla did use it for production usage as recently as victoria and in principal nova-api console script
is fit for production use but i am not aware of anyoen deploying it that way since kolla changed to using apache.
