There's also too boring. I had a job at a software company that uses Rocket UniVerse (https://www.rocketsoftware.com/products/rocket-universe-0/ro...). It upscales a telnet based interface to a windows-like frankenstein that displays on conventional MS Windows pc's. The db is ironically noSQL before they even invented the term. But that interface, that tech...
The company is valued at $3.3 billion, but their news article sounds like an over promising kickstarter pitch. The whole "secret ingredient" thing and the feel of the entire website makes me think they just want traction for a soon to come IPO.
I understand you want to make money, but why not open source your work? I'd imagine this would be the right thing to do. I'm sure you could still live a prosperous life.
I've read all your comments and agree that a migration towards newer hardware and OSS Server software is needed.
I've taking some first steps away from OSX Server and have come to the following results regarding the issue's I had.
See below a comparison between old OSX server and new Ubuntu test server with regards to High Sierra:
AFP Finder search on OSX 10.6.8 Server from High Sierra Client (17D47):
No result (most often)
-or-
Incomplete results (certain mounted shares are not searched)
AFP Finder search on Ubuntu 16.04.3 Server from High Sierra Client:
Fast result
Opening file works
SMB Finder search on OSX 10.6.8 Server from High Sierra Client:

I'm sad to say that I tend to agree with echelon.
