I've used it on a production site. There still is a learning curve, as with any new technology, but I've been very happy with it. I hope to do more with it. I'm working on a CMS built with Meteor, as my clients tend to be less than technically proficient.
The main problem I've had with it relates to IE7/IE8. The standard password encryption results in a JS error on those browsers due to the password encryption taking too long. We run the whole site on top of HTTPS, though, so we took a little hack to remove the extra client-side encryption on IE7/IE8. It's not ideal, but then again the default encryption for passwords is there primarily for those that don't use HTTPS (passwords are sent over the wire hashed such that HTTP sessions still maintain safety with the passwords...this hashing is slow by design, and the IE7/8 javascript engine isn't good enough to do it in a reasonable time frame).
