Can confirm - I've been using Hetzner for over 2 years now with no problems. I serve quite a large amount of traffic on an EX40 (it was costing me a fortune when I was with AWS).
Although a company I worked for had a Hetzner server where 3 out 4 of the hard disks failed. So it might be wise to do regular backups off-site.
This was most probably due to shitty Seagate harddrives, the ST3000DM001 which are failing left, right and center...

Beginning in January 2012, Backblaze deployed 4,829 Seagate 3TB hard drives, model ST3000DM001, into Backblaze Storage Pods. In our experience, 80% of the hard drives we deploy will function at least 4 years. As of March 31, 2015, just 10% of the Seagate 3TB drives deployed in 2012 are still in service
Edit: They (Hetzner) have since long stopped putting those drives into servers and if such a HDD shows signs of failure they're replaced by support no questions asked...
