Conversely, i'd be interested to know how and why they're using Concourse for CD but not CI. My experience with Concourse taught me that it's model deals much better with CI, which is isolated from the rest of the world, than CD, which isn't. For CD it just became a very complicated way to run shell scripts.

Personally I find Concourse to be better at CD than CI. We've been using it for a couple of years now to deploy Cloud Foundry which has a complex dependency graph of deployment steps. Concourse pipelines are great at modelling this, and resources like Terraform[1], Docker and S3 save you writing what would otherwise be a hell of a lot of Bash.
Disclosure: I run a company that sells hosted Concourse.
