Probably off-topic, but I can attest that Lualatex/Lyx works fine once you take care of the TexLive distribution issues (as Liviu rightly stated). I completed a book with it just a couple of months ago and was very happy with it. I work on Linux and my strategy was (and still is) to get rid of the distribution's Texlive's packages and rely only on TexLive's original installer (and its excellent package manager tlmgr).
