Symfony2 is definitely stable enough to start a site with. I've had one running since PR6. You must, however, keep up with the updates. Each time I've updated I've had to spend about a half hour or so updating the things that have changed. A little change in the configuration here, they renamed an interface there, etc. If you keep up with the updates, it's pretty easy to maintain.
I didn't have the pleasure of working with the 1.x line, so my decision was more based on the fact that Symfony 1.x will be out of maintenance in a couple of years, and our site will be around for much longer than that. So, I've been willing to do a little editing by hand and keep up with the changes, and so far I've been quite impressed. Community support has been outstanding, the framework has been easy to use and wicked fast, and the integration with Doctrine 2 has made security and form-field generation a breeze. In fact, Doctrine was what originally drew me to Symfony. If your going to be maintaining the site for awhile, I think the investment in learning Symfony2 will be well worth your while.
