We have a record of nine months operation on in-house samba servers and a webDAV server. However, a few crash problems are reported on this mailing list and remain unresolved. I suspect they are caused by some sort of bug related to "garbage collection" mechanism, which often makes trouble on this sort of filesystems. I think you may as well wait for resolution of these issues and test enough if you will actually apply it for business use. NILFS2 is still marked "experimental" in kernel as with BTRFS.
