Redis is still not an AMQP, but yes Redis's Pub/Sub works quite nicely. Out of all the brokers celery supports I'd recommend only RabbitMQ and Redis to people.
With container solutions like Docker and prebuilt images the setup part is kinda eliminated. Although I don't remember having any special configuration issues with RabbitMQ as well, it just works TM. That's always nice right? :)

Yeah, I've been using redis with celery in production to perform lots of network io related tasks on a low end machine because
a > Redis uses less memory
b > Redis is easier to setup

That's been my experience with Redis + Celery as well vs. the other brokers.
