We've had a drop-side crib with our son, who is now 2. Have had no issues with it. However, he doesn't move around much when he's in it, and has never even tried to climb out of it, even though he's big enough to do so if he really wanted (like the kid down the street who apparently has climbed out of his crib repeated since the age of about 12 months).
The problem is, as the article states, poor wood quality and dangerous gaps. Our crib has neither of these problems. They also state that with one model, the problems can be due to hardware that is "assembled incorrectly". Not much chance of that with two engineers as parents...
