I'm not an ops guy, but I know it was a constant source of trouble in our team and a large challenge to keep it running smoothly. For us it took 2-3 experienced engineers something like 2 years to have a stable and smoothly running production environment at scale.
If you start from scratch today things may have gotten better. You might want to look at https://github.com/overhangio/tutor, I know Régis has been hard at work making it easier to run Open edX.

Shameless self-plug: I am the principal maintainer of Tutor, the Docker-based Open edX distribution designed for peace of mind. Open edX is the free, open source software that powers some of the most popular online learning platforms in the world, such as edX.org, openlearning.mit.edu, the national education platform of France, Guatemala, Greece, and many others.

My past experience had me working for a major UK university and specialist school Internet Service Provider (ages 4-18) which included provision of services like Moodle LMS, and Mahara eLearning Portfolio, where I was also a contributor.
