We have had this running in production for about six months. It has worked well for us. We use tomcat for our authoring instance and websphere for our public instances. Those who manage the servers here like to keep all of our external facing sites on websphere, but like the simplicity of tomcat for all of our internal apps. We have upgraded Magnolia from 3.5.4 to 3.5.8 and also upgraded websphere from 6.1.0.11 to 6.1.0.13 without any issues. Both are minor upgrades though.
The only issues that we've had really center around custom code (an LDAP authentication piece). Any other issues we're dealing with are the same on both tomcat and websphere. Overall we have found Magnolia runs just as well on websphere as it does on tomcat.
