Yes, the bugs have been well and truly worked out.
Worked around, more precisely.
There are still bugs in Yosemite's handling of environment variables,
and R >= 3.1.2 has workarounds that resolve some of those. But they can
still bite when building R or installing packages.
I have found that
unsetenv FOO
setenv FOO value
resolved the issues I had. (csh syntax, works in bash too.)
If you upgrade to Yosemite, do ensure that you have read the current
R-admin manual and re-install the software it recommends. We have found
that what needed to be reinstalled varied between nominally identical
systems ...

The missives about running R/Rstudio under Yosemite seem to have died down.
For the vast majority of us who are "vanilla" uses of the current versions
of R and Rstudio, is Yosemite (10.10.current) now as safe as Mavericks
(10.9.current)?
I'm hoping a single short response from one of the R-on-Mac leaders will
give me (and thousands more) either a green or red light at this point.
Thanks for all the great work you do.
