I think some heavy clarifications need to be put on this. If you are moving from Ant, or starting a new project, there is every chance Maven 2 is ready for production use for you.
I feel this is entirely about the plugins. There are a bunch of plugins written for Maven 1.x (many outside of the Maven project), that some people have come to depend on that limit the ability to upgrade. To a lesser extent, there are some Maven project plugins that are not yet finished. I think this mostly revolves around the site generation, which is being worked on right now. I'm not sure what core issues are being referred to - but I don't recall seeing anything marked as a blocker for some time (the 6 in JIRA are for the ant tasks, the embedder, and design issues for 2.1 - none of which are under discussion here). Another factor is a large investment in custom Maven 1.x scripts within some organisations. That's not something Maven 2 can do a lot about, and is a trade off for the person upgrading. Hope this helps in clarifying it. It's important that anyone who says it is not yet ready for production states a reason so we can focus on improving that experience.
