A strong +1.  2.2 adds major value over 1.3 - most obviously HTTP/1.1
support and the ability to filter input/output.

Just in case you weren't aware of it, there's now a choice of
connectors.  mod_jk is (still) maintained by the tomcat folks,
while mod_proxy_ajp is maintained by the httpd folks, and gives
users added benefits like the proxy balancer.  Probably good to
ship both and give users the choice.
