Ceph is more than just a file system. The storage cluster provides a native API for object storage, which is the core of Ceph. Most production systems use the Ceph Block Device (as a backend for OpenStack, CloudStack, and other cloud platforms) or Ceph Object Storage (S3 and Swift APIs). There are people using the filesystem for production data, and there have been many improvements. I would suggest referring to the release notes for the latest changes.
