Should have updated this previously, the discussion and decision-making moved to live meetings / irc, but I neglected to update the task.

A decision was reached in Infrastructure Foundations to stick with Netbox for the time being. The overall consensus was that while some of the new Nautobot features seem nice, we probably would not leverage many of them in the short-medium term. Likewise there was some uncertainty about the future of the Nautobot project, whether it might go "open core", or what the longer term vision of the Network to Code team was for it. Netbox seems to stick more to the Unix-philosophy of "do one thing and do it well", whereas Nautobot appears to want to be a "swiss-army knife" of Network automation, much of which WMF has covered by other tools and processes. Netbox remains under active development with an active community too.

We are in the process of planning to upgrade to Netbox verison 3 following this decision.
