Not on a single machine and not for quick preliminaries. For high-quality final stills, I would send this off to a render farm, if the price per cpu was right.
Out of curiosity, do you normally just provide only one single high quality still to your clients? I have always thought that the true value of architectural viz is to explore/visualize multiple configurations (layout, structure and materials). Having to pour so many resources just to get one rendering I am afraid wouldn't be enough for my business.

With all due respect, I think this is a discussion for some place other than my gallery thread.
Fair enough. However, I am not going to start a "Maxwell Sucks Because it Takes too Long" thread. I think there has been enough of those and there is no need in beating this poor dead horse anymore. Since you are using Maxwell for production type work, I wanted to inquire about its feasibility.
OK for C&C
1st - The mapping on the table looks somewhat awkward. Although I do some light wood working, I do not make any claims to know how tables are manufactured. However, intuitively, I would expect for the "legs" of the to be cut long-wise (i.e. with the grain of the wood). Also, for the top of the table, it seems to me that the grain of the wood for the front edge would be aligned around the table.
2nd - The color of the wood for your table makes it stand out more than it probably should. Although it may be a personal preference, it seems to distract too much attention from the other fine elements of your room. I would suggest to shift the hue of your map away from the reddish hue to something more neutral and less saturated. I would suppose that a table like this should complement your scene rather than be the scene's subject. Also, I would offset the UV mapping between the two "legs" of the table. Since the maps are the same, it make the table look as if it is manufactured from faux wood rather than a solid or veneered wood. I would also try some variation to the wood maps more so that it looks more natural. In addition, may I suggest a matte or loss gloss finish for the table. It would make the wood look more upscale in my opinion. Here is a good example:

3rd - I think the room lacks a certain continuity. The wall and the picture really go together nicely. I think the rug also complements the picture nicely. However, the daybed and the table seems to clash with everything else in the room. This may be a matter of personal taste.
4th - The corner of the wall and the baseboard molding look muddy. There seems to be some detail missing. Would rendering at 1 1/2 the final size and then reducing the size of the image to the final resolution bring out this detail without drastically increasing the rendertime?
S'all for now
