It has worked really well in practice. The failing point was always
ImageMagick, really. We ended up using pdf2image instead, which yielded
much better output, much faster. We've processed 120+ page documents, so
the file issue wasn't a problem. With the time it takes to process the
images (assuming you are resizing / thumbnailing) you'll certainly want
to process with a background processor though--Delayed Job, Resque or
the like.
