Some initial thoughts and why I went ahead with CW at this point in time:
Yes, indeed, during initial development, clockworkmod was not stable on Nook and one would have been advised to stay away. It also initially couldn't do full restores. Now it can. I would say it is now stable enough to use.
That said, I still would not have switched if there wasn't an alternative way back to stock (the BN way is reliable, I'd not want to blow it away without a backup method or 2!) I'd suggest that those who are uncertain get a spare SD card, and create the images listed in the Easy Restore thread. Don't actually restore your device (do not format the partitions!), just confirm that you can boot up off of the SD card you made and navigate the initial menu.
Also, I'm already familiar with Clockwork because I use it on my android phone. That helped make me more comfortable with it.
I can post more about Clockwork, but before I do:
IF YOU INSTALL CLOCKWORK, IMMEDIATELY MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP.
Without it you have no onboard Nook restore.
