Not easy, but, GRBL and FluidNC are pretty much hobby only due to USB or WiFi comms mostly and the inherent latency and lack of "horse power" and lack of memory for complicated stuff, but they are pretty damn good for what they are and the fact they run even on a 8 bit micro controller.
LinuxCNC is a different beast altogether, the shear expandability and flexibility is definitely in the " life-changing epiphanies" level, and reliability combined with Mesa boards is way above most new industrial controls.
As a fresh example, today i went to visit a client of mine with 2 retrofitted industrial plasma cutters, he was just finishing the drawings and started the machine, literally as he pressed Run he turned and walked away from the machine and we went out for lunch. That is how comfortable he is with reliability of it all. He has over 10 years of experience with LinuxCNC machines, had one, now has two others, even his dad at over 70 years old uses those machines daily.
