I'm working with Balanced right now to build a full dashboard for their payments product using Ember.js. It's open-source and being used by real users. We started with Ember when it went RC for version 1.0 and haven't had any problems so far. Not using Ember Data (didn't play well with our API), but a good app to look at for regular Ember stuff.
I too would love this, but I think it's not going to happen until 1.0 official/ ember data stable. It's really hard to pitch ember as a viable framework until it becomes stable.
The closest thing right now, though, would be Discourse.
For what it's worth, we are about to start a sprint to rebuild the customer-facing side of a Rails application using EmberJS. I will more than likely post a walkthrough of the experience. We have worked a lot with both Backbone and Ember. They are very different tools and I don't think it's fair to compare them directly, but I am definitely a big fan of Ember. I even have a t-shirt!
If you are interested, blog.chriswinn.com is where I will end up posting the Ember walkthrough - probably in the next few weeks.

Does anyone have a good example app which is more involved than a single or couple of models and uses ember data?
Hacking this past weekend it seems harder to find much in the way of solid guidance past very simple apps.

+1 Discourse is the best example app to look at, the guys have implemented a lot of things already, it'll save you tons of time working things out.
