depends on your environment (i.e. would you prefer debugging probably
unstable & still changing foreign code or rather your own) - but in
general, yes. PXE with DHCP and TFTP are proven and reliable
technologies. FUSE gained reliability over the last years. gPXE is
called pre-release by it's own developers.
it all depends on how much time you're willing to invest into how
reliable a solution - which might depend on wether you're planning to
configure dozens or thousands of systems.
