I have them in a production setup, but not using mod_jserv
heavily yet. I took the approach of compiling mod_jserv
statically into the front end httpd with a separate
mod_perl version as a back end. The only real ugliness
is the stack of ApJServMount and RewriteRules that
sort out where everything goes.
The one quirk I noticed is that if you try to include
both mod_perl and mod_java statically, the mod_perl
tests will not run because the test config file does
not set any jserv authentication. But, I only tried
that for a low-usage test machine - I don't think I
would run a non-proxied mod_perl in production with
internet connections anyway.

Mostly I am investigating java because we have data
that can be obtained in xml and formatted using
various xsl stylesheets and there is no support
for this in perl yet (and I'm too lazy to write my
own). I am very impressed by the ability to develop
the java servlets on windows or unix and copy the
servlet bytecode to the other and run it unchanged.
Likewise you can transparently run the apache on
one machine and the jserve on another without regard
to the operating system.
