Absolutely. QGIS is incredibly powerful, so much so that ESRI re-wraps QGIS/Opensource GIS (Postgres) and calls it their own - in a more palatable and scalable manner in some cases.

Opensource GIS can do some absolutely mind-blowing custom work.

Talking specifically any combination of QGIS x PostgreSQL x pgAdmin x BlenderGIS.

Example 1:

For the record, you CAN get a fully kitted out ArcGIS license to use Pro/AGOL for ~$100/yr as a personal-use only software. No making a profit using their tech at all (that, they charge you many multiples of $10k for).

So… just come to the dark side.
