Frederik, We have also used separate service, which uses tika & then use solrj to index the content. The main reason, why we went for this approach is to have flexibility to manipulate/transform data over and above what tika does.
What I understand is that, if there is no other transformation needed "ExtractingRequestHandler" should be fine in production too.
