I've been running exim/dovecot for years for my personal and business
but my business email is normally not critical for me.
I think a lot depends on your familiarity with email and your appetite
for risk.
Last year I refreshed my setup and ensured I was running DKIM because my
mail was not getting through to a lot of places. Running PSF/DKIM is not
optional - if you don't do it you're basically not going to have mail
accepted by a lot of places.
I run multiple domains using a puppet setup for config, I don't use the
debian config method. If you're only doing a single domain then it can
be quite simple.
I only run one VPS, so this is a SPOF for me, if you need to run
business email through it that is critical I would either go for a
commercial service or run a more complex SMTP setup with multiple MXs.
I can't comment on what commercial services are suitable for your size.
I only deal with either massive amounts at my jobs or tiny amounts at home.
