Daniel: As a fellow 'non-java' person I feel your pain (well, felt it anyway). A lot depends on your load and the machine, but I successfully ran the stock jetty system on a box last summer for work and didn't have performance problems. The bigger issue was from the other java people complaining that I hadn't used the standard jboss setup they had already working. However, I didnt' have access to that machine, nor would anyone give it to me at the time, so it was a catch 22. Performance-wise, the stock jetty will probably do just fine for you. Longer term, you may want to learn more about jboss or tomcat or something else which can give you more application management options and such.
But don't let those things stop you from running jetty/solr in production - it's worked fine for me.
