17.1 Legacy Series / good in a business environment 50-100 users?

I am curious how the stability is particularly in a business VM environment and what kind of CPU utilization can be expected using the majority of features and heavy traffic on a 1 or 2 gig internet connection. Right now in my lab I am not pumping enough traffic to see if suricata and multiple IPSEC L2L VPN tunnels will bring it to it's knees so I am asking for input. The environment I would end up running this in is VMware (ESXi 6.5 free) VM using vlan tagged virtual machine port group on a four port etherchannel trunk (port group, trunk, whatever) with 4 vm interfaces dedicated to a particular role (Outside, Inside, Server, Wireless).
My background has been Cisco ASA VPN/Firewall, Cisco and HP switches and routers, Webense/Cymphonix web filtering, etc. Equipment that ran for years without a reboot that was under a load and worked very admirably. Multiple tools that accomplished very similar tasks but at a much much higher cost.
For my use it is ok if it hangs up once a month or so. Just can't do it every day or multiple times a day, god forbid. I know that depends on things like hardware, environment, clean power, etc but I am hopeful.
Thank you for any input.
