That sentence might sound harsh, it has actually been rephrased to:
"Ironic works well in Kolla, though it is not thoroughly tested as
part of Kolla CI, so may be subject to instability."
in some later release.

The thing about "thoroughness" is that we don't have actual baremetal
nodes in the CI (perhaps we should just mention that explicitly) and
thus we are testing a more limited scenario - but still on a regular
basis.
That said, Ironic is used by members of the Kolla Ansible core team
and it works well in the wild (at least with IPMI).
We also fully support it.
