PBS in Small Office without Subscription: Should I switch to the No-Subscription repo from the Enterprise repo?

I've got a Proxmox VE cluster (all with subscriptions) in a small home office environment. I'm now setting up a PBS server, but do not have the budget for a community subscription of PBS ($500+) at this time.

While I anticipate being able to get a subscription later, in the meantime I want to make sure I'm actually getting updates to PBS itself. By default, it looks like I'm getting all the actual Debian repos, but no PBS updates, as the enterprise repo is inactive. (See screenshot).

I see that I can add the no-subscription repo, but it gives me a warning about not using it in "production."

How risky is this, exactly? I don't mind if I have to reinstall PBS, as I have a separate pool for backup storage, but I need it not to get confused and eat my VM/LXC backups.

yes you should add the no subscription repo, disable the enterprise repo. The warning for production is because you have no support outside of yourself!
