If I'm not mistaken here, I think this thread is basically boiling down to a trust issue; OP, please correct me if I'm wrong.
People /want/ to see some huge site such as ebay or something written totally on Mono so they at least know "Hey yes that's possible to do, I can commit to that technology for my project and deal with problems as they come up.." Mono can be the fastest thing on earth if setup right, but without a solid résumé it'll be a hard sell..
