It's very depend on production type.
If you can control guests and predict their memory consumption, use it
as base for ratio.
If you can't (typical for public clouds) - use 1 or smaller with
reserved_host_memory_mb in nova.conf.
And one more: some swap sapce is really necessary. Add at least twice of
reserved_host_memory_mb - it really improves performance and prevents
strange OOMs in the situation of very large host with very small dom0
footprint.

Just a general question: what kind of over commit ratios do people
normally run in production with?
We currently run 2 for cpu and 1 for memory (with some held back for OS/ceph)
i.e.:
default['bcpc']['nova']['ram_allocation_ratio'] = 1.0
default['bcpc']['nova']['reserved_host_memory_mb'] = 1024 # often larger
default['bcpc']['nova']['cpu_allocation_ratio'] = 2.0
