New install - is Innodb the proper path yet?

I need to setup 3 new Nagios XI servers. I have been hearing Innodb spoken about for a long time.
So, are we there yet? Should I invest the sweat equity to make this work for me?
Or, is it too soon. Will a new version of Nagios XI down the road handle this for me.
Please advise.
Thanks

To the best of my knowledge, XI is going innodb just for the nagiosxi database in 5.5.0 which is slated to be out withing a few months.
All the rest of the DB's are staying MYISAM

Thank you Scott.
One last question... For my new servers, can I install Mariadb 10.2 instead of using the Mariadb 5.5 that Red Hat defaults to. Will I regret this?
Thanks

I can't honestly say because we haven't tested it.
My guess it is will work fine, but I do not know the changes made between 5.5 to 10.2, and have no idea of the ramifications. If you are going to do this I would highly suggest doing it on a testing environment first.

Thank you Scott.
That is a 'No' for me. I'll stick with the Mariadb 5.5 / Mysql 5.5 instead of trying the Mariadb 10.2 / Mysql 5.7
