Using an RPi for everything is indeed not a good idea! It's a poor choice for e.g a HPC server of a 10G router.
Not using RPi for anything is not a good idea either, it seems.
The RPi (and C.H.I.P., Arduino, etc) have a rather well-defined sweet spot: small-scale hobby projects and study. At this niche, they are a good value for the money (because tools, books, community, etc).
