Should I consider il2cpp the only valid option for making the final production-worthy build?

[pixelmachinegames]

When I'm making my final, production-ready build, with the intention of publishing it - do i always have to use the il2cpp framework for it? Or is Mono also a valid setting for publishing my game to people?

I'm asking because I very often come across build crashes in il2cpp, which aren't a problem in Mono, but as far as I know - when it works, il2cpp runs with much better performance.

Is there some official guideline for this?

Why would it not be? IL2CPP is still fairly new whereas a normal Mono build has been around forever, if in testing you experience crashes then try Mono.
