The mod_perl 2 User's Guide (Pub: Onyx Neon, authors: Stas Beckman and Jim Brandt) has apparently only part of 2 pages (365-366) on the subject. Also, the Suse Enterprise Linux 10.x system that I recently installed for a customer has a worker (threaded) Apache2 + mod_perl2 installed by default. None of the above constitute firm recommendations, but in the absence of forecasts of doom, I would tend to see these as encouraging signs.
Apart of the usual warnings about the underlying thread-safety of underlying C libraries, there are apparently a couple of potentially nasty side-effects, such as if you would be using chdir() in some of your modules (because a chdir in one thread affects all the others).
There is a reference in the book to this, which I have not checked myself : http://www.perl.com/lpt/2002/06/11/threads.html
