This is a great set of reading materials. It is great to find out how teams are building in resiliency at the micro level. That being said, I would never actually use this project for building things. IMHO: Libraries > Frameworks.

Glad to hear the documentation is thought-provoking - it was intended to not just explain the project but also communicate our learnings in operating at scale and how the Hystrix library is used by Netflix.

I also agree that libraries are preferable to frameworks and Hystrix is in fact just a java library that can be used as little or as much as one wishes.

It purposefully tries to have a small number of dependencies so should be easy to pull in without significant impact.
