There's different levels of proof being discussed here.

Are we ready to put passengers and NASA interplanetary missions on Starship? No.

Is SpaceX ready to count on Starship for replenishing or expanding their main moneymaking satellite fleet? Yes.

Are manned missions commercially relevant? They have NASA contracts, but they seem like small potatoes compared to bulk mass to orbit.
