I have not been using it long enough to know about stability and such, but as far as getting it installed, it was a breeze. I actually did this yesterday right before I left work locally on my laptop. It may have taken 30 minutes from start to finish including getting the cf datasource set up and installing the mysql administrator and query browser.
You will need a jdbc driver to connect it to cf (there may be an odbc driver available, but I doubt it and really wouldn't know where to look), The driver I got was the mysql-connector-java-3.1.12 off of the mysql website. Then you just have to use this technote: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=6ef0253 (even though it is for mysql 4.1, the way you put the jdbc url and driver class in and where to stick the jdbc driver is still the same) Hope that helps.
