The issue we found was that pretty much all the PaaS systems out there were only available in one region - e.g. I think (at the time) CloudBees was only US-East on AWS (pretty sure they have Europe options now?).
So it there was a entire region outage (which has happened in the past), you were up the proverbial creek without a paddle. For that reason, I've never really hoped on board the PaaS wagon, as it's too hard to do cross region failover. That being said, if it's not a priority (or if they fixed that up for you already) then all for it. (Looks like Heroku is doing cross region failover as a beta atm - https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/disaster-mitigation, which is pretty cool). I also always worry about how expensive CF (More so ACF is vs Railo) is, resource wise, because of it's monolithic nature and how much it packs into one punch. Another very good reason to be able to modularise CF would be for utilising a large amount of low resource infrastructure, e.g. a lot of PaaS working together. So no real world experience, but that was the takeaways I had from looking into it last year.
