I've used live class reloading on a production system a few times, but
it always felt "wrong" to me. :)

However, keep in mind that the ease of development means some people
are going to use Tapestry for things that normally would be handled by
a scripting language. In some of those situations live class reloading
in production may make sense.

I understand the problems with giving people too many options.
However it can be really tricky to decide what should be configurable
and what need to be fixed.  I wouldn't want to use a word processor
that only allowed me to type in Times Roman because that was the only
font the developers used and they didn't see any reason others would
need to use anything different.

It seems that the real advantage of having fewer options would be when
it lets you keep the code base simpler, but in this case it isn't like
you plan to remove the live class reloading capability.  It will still
be needed for development.

But personally it wouldn't hamper any of my current projects if it
were turned off in production.
