I feel entirely comfortable putting "serious" applications on Heroku. The platform is reliable, the speed of configuration and deployment is unbeatable, the service options are terrific, the price is unmatched. The alternative - having to do all those things myself that Heroku does for me - would be a huge burden.
But Heroku isn't perfect. I'm sure they are working on improving their tech support response, but the company is small and growing. I do not expect them to get all the operational kinks worked out for another year or more. In my case, I can be patient. If high-uptime is critical for your app, you'll need to figure out ways to work around hiccups & outages & response delays. Perhaps you could distribute your application across multiple Heroku instances so that app outages would only be partial. Or run parts on another platform. I don't think there's one approach that will work for everyone.
