Should I be using the Admin Site? But the organization admin is really not a super user/staff member of the app. 

This question is orthogonal to your other questions. Django's Admin site isn't intended as a general purpose, user-facing administration console for your site. It's intended for internal site administration use only. 

If you're making a distinction between your own site administrators, and an "administrator" role amongst a particular group of users/organization, then you'll almost certainly have a separate administration interface for those users -- but that doesn't preclude you from using Django's Admin for your own internal administration.

Yup, I am inclining to have a separate administration interface for the administrator role , and not site administrator.

I have looked at AdminSite and ModelAdmin. Should I be using them? 

 

If you're planning to use Django's Admin site, then yes. They won't have much use otherwise.

Do people typically run with admin site in production?

Absolutely. It can be a very useful resource for trusted site administrators.
