O ye of little faith! I have been using Devuan Xfce on my desktop since last November. Haven't had one hiccup with it. And I am not alone! Many are using it on their desktop and also on production servers. Beta will be released very soon if that's what you're waiting for.
This just posted a few days ago:
"today at 10:00 CET Nextime has dropped our first batch of ballast off
the board. meaning now the systemd and systemd-sysv packages are not anymore
available from the Devuan repositories."
You can download the alpha4 at https://files.devuan.org/ or if you want to try a live iso there's the Refracta Devuan derivative:
