I'm working on a large ColdBox site that will go live on 3.0.0 M4. We started on a pre-alpha of 3.0.0 because we needed several features specific to the 3.0.0 release and it was a bit of a bumpy ride through the various releases but it has stabilized dramatically with M4 and M5 and a lot of bugs have been found and eliminated as part of the long lead time and plenty of public testing of milestone releases. Most people have found the M-builds to be plenty stable enough for production. My particular project has really pushed the limits of the new features and architecture in 3.0.0 so our experience has been rougher than anyone else - based on comments on the ColdBox mailing list (which I strongly recommend you join!) - but that's also helped improve a lot of the features in 3.0.0. All the concerns I had during the beta / M2 / M3 period have been addressed. We may go to M5 for launch but Luis commented that a few things changed between M4 and M5 that may break our apps so it will depend on how much time we feel we have for testing M5 prior to launch. Post-launch, we'll definitely move to a later milestone release or the gold release when it comes out.
