That's your own anecdotal experience though; I've been doing it for years, on 8 machines, 7 of which are Xserves running OS X Server, and my FM Server machines *never* crash. Never.

Hosting databases in OS X would be a huge pain; without the Admin Console and Workgroup Manager, I wouldn't want to have to deal with Terminal every time I added a new client.

It sounds like you need someone to help with your OS X Server installations; I found a guy who is an expert with OS X Server; he helped me get my mail server squared away, and could probably find and fix your problem as well; he's a Greek-German living in Switzerland.

Anyone needing help with OS X Server, either web services or mail (or anything else in OS X Server), let me know; this guy is excellent and a nice guy to boot.
