What is your production use? You have to answer that for yourself. post.jar makes a couple of things easy. If your production use fits into those (e.g. no cluster) - great, use it. It is certainly not any worse than cURL.
But if you are running a cluster and have specific requirements, then yes, use something that's cluster aware. Whether it is a custom client on top of SolrJ, Spring Data, or Cloudera pipeline will depend on your particular use case. Don't make your life over-complicated in advance. Regards, Alex.
