I use Hirefire as well for several sites. For the most part I like it, however it can be awfully slow to react to traffic spikes. I highly recommend leaving a bit of a buffer (few extra dynos) during prime time traffic.

You are completely correct, the default settings are not good and it will aggressively scale your app down too far if you let it.
