We (Acquia) have been using a 1.4 nightlies (updating every month or so) since January 15th in production. We haven't had any problems with builds that pass tests at all. Granted, we're not doing sharding, field collapsing or some other features which may be "advanced", but we are using java replication in multicore heavily and have played around a bit with the Tika extension without issues.
