I'm using VB in a small scale production environment without any issues.
Tested for a year, been running in production 7 months.

I like it because KVM is part of the kernel mainline so it's easy to keep all the drivers (host and optional guest) up-to-date, particularly if you're running linux guests. And qemu runs as a normal, non-privileged, userland process, which lets you use all of the standard linux tools and techniques for management on the host side.
