Any reason for not using Flask as a live web server over WAN for only a few users? [closed]

I have developed an app that's used only by my son and me. As long as he was living at home, we both accessed the app through the local network. After he moved to another city for college, I need to provide some sort of remote access for him.

I've looked into python Flask, and think I could easly implement the remote access I need using Flask. But I see a lot of posts warning about Flask being a development server, and not meant for production environment.

EDIT:I understand that Flask doesn't scale well to a large environment with a large number of users. But that isn't my need in this situaution. I only need something that gives two people access to an API over the internet. My question is if there are som weaknesses or shortcomings in Flask that makes it unsuitable even for this purpose.

Do these warnings apply to an environment with only two users? Is there anything inherent in the Flask server that will prevent it from working ok in a WAN setting, even with only two users?

I have deployed my app to Flask and everyting seems to work fine. My question is if I can expect some problems down the street, or if this is a solution I can stick with.
