I've gigged with my L5 a few times and other solid state amps in the past. You can get fine tones out of them, but you have to understand that they're not going to behave like tube amps for the most part, so don't expect that. You can get more clarity and better note separation with an SS amp, but you also have to be more finicky about your pedals. OD pedals are typically designed to drive a tube front end, though I've used them on distortion channels of SS amps many times, only with the gain turned down really low so as to emulate a tube amp that is only barely breaking up. Those amps were made in the 80s and the SS fare of today (not counting modelling) usually don't do the semi-distorted thing well.

It's all in your approach. There are lots and lots of very usable amps out there these days, most of the tone is in the fingers and knowledge of the player. I far and away prefer tube amps, but wouldn't look down my nose at certain SS amps in certain situations, nor would I look down on anyone for using one.

Break the mold, do your thing.
