Kristian, Do GMail or the GWT showcase application work well enough for you in your intended browser? If so, then in all likelihood your GWT application will perform adequately.
I'm not aware of any reliability issues as such. The only thing that springs to mind is that GWT compiles for specific browsers that it knows about at compile time. Like many other web application technologies, if a new browser comes out then they can break compatibility. Recent examples of this are with IE8 and FF 3.5, however Google have always endeavoured to roll out compiler updates to rectify these issues. Loading times can be a problem and it boils down to a couple of things: 1. I believe IE's JavaScript parser gets disproportionately slower the larger your GWT application is (other browsers do not suffer with this); 2. a compressed GWT application can still be fairly large, say 150k to 200k, which can be an issue if your target audience are all on dial up connections. Remember though that this download is a one-off and the browser will cache that version of the app forever so all subsequent app launches are significantly quicker. Also, GWT 2.0 has a number of things in the pipeline to address these issues (like code splitting). Cheers, Chris.
