The idiomatic way of shipping an ember app is with ember-cli-deploy [1] which, among other things, will ensure that it ships a production build. [1] https://github.com/ember-cli-deploy/ember-cli-deploy

1.x to 2.0 was a little rough, but so much better than the "all apps left behind" approach of Angular 1.x to 2.0. Ember's 2.x to 3.0 upgrade path was much improved as earlier mistakes were learned from. Trajectory matters, an

We're running Ember 2.2 on Intercom and we've found it to be faster than 1.x. In addition to this, it looks like Glimmer 2 will bring significant render time improvement for both initial render and subsequent DOM updates.
