We started using dokku just before 0.2.0 released for hosting our apps. One place it initially lacked was process management. If you wanted anything outside of your 'web' process in your Procfile, you were out of luck. I wrote a couple plugins[1][2] to handle that.

It worked alright for single sever deployments. When attempting to scale to a multi-server setup, dokku wasn't the right choice. I went down the rabbit hole of docker orchestration on top of CoreOS, but eventually backed out to go with Cloud66[3].
