I think you are being a tad bit pessimistic.

You have a 'production' server(that looks kickass. Seriously.) running
already, do you not?

Right now my major complaints are simply polish. (if they even qualify
as complaints.)
And it's still ahead of a lot of other projects that I have seen.

Development is still proceeding at a relatively rapid pace.

I would start 'pushing it out there.'
Make it clear that you want feedback on any issues, Make it clear it's
'beta', I really
do not think that there is currently much at all holding it back. It's
in a good enough state to
be usable. Go! I want to see this thing on the D announce list again!

My only concern is that attracting non-D people (who need to switch
languages) on one hand requires some instantly interesting feature(s)
and on the other hand many of them will probably easily get discouraged
if something doesn't work right away.

So everything that is more or less inside the D community is definitely
fine, but I guess that advertising a polished version to the 'general
public' has the best chances to also reach some future D-developers.

All in all I would say there are three blockers that would be good to
have out of the way:

  • vibedist has to work at least on localhost as a vhost manager and
    watchdog process
  • the recently discovered memory leak needs to be fixed
  • get the multithreaded HTTP server version thread-safe and tune the
    libevent back end so that we get some impressive benchmark numbers as
    this always seems to be a selling point to many (although these
    benchmarks most of the time have nothing to do with reality when it
    comes to real apps)
