Can someone comment on how mature rethinkdb is at the moment?

I'm considering moving away from MongoDB before I have to implement what seems to be an incredibly complicated architecture to get it to scale on the level tens/hundreds of millions of documents.

RethinkDB is not yet "ready for production use" but reportedly will be soon.

If you're currently on MongoDB but need more performance, concurrency, or compression, please try TokuMX: http://www.tokutek.com/products/tokumx-for-mongodb It's a drop-in replacement server that uses a better storage engine but speaks the same protocol and query language.

RethinkDB doesn't have Geospatial index yet (if it's relevant to your needs)
