Drupal 8 (RC1) Stability for a new headless project

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I am in the process of starting a new project, that I would like to use a headless/decoupled approach.

I am debating on whether to use Drupal, specifically D8, but as it's very new, am concerned as it's stability. I understand D8 is superior to D7 for headless projects as D7 requires Services and RESTW modules. Is D8 (RC1) fit for a new headless project, or should I start with D7.

I am also considering Symfony CMF, but appreciate the less code-centric UI of Drupal admin.

Thanks

Drupal 8

I would recommend go with Drupal 8, especially because it will be supported for a lot more years than Drupal 7. Just make sure that all the modules that you need in your project have already been ported over to Drupal 8. If you do encounter any bug, please contribute back to the community by raising an issue. :)

In case of headless Drupal, we do not require many contributed modules. In one of the project we are working on using D8, we are able to achieve 80% of functionality required for editorial experience using core modules itself.
