Just off the top of my head:

1. We will probably eventually need SQL

2. It might not make sense to be so JS heavy, especially since we are enterprise focused and may have to support older browsers for extended periods

3. General performance issues at scale that I would have with any new framework

Planning on solving these problems when we hit them - for now, fast is best.

Other folks have said this same thing, bascially, earlier in this thread, but bmajz sums it up perfectly here. Can't agree more with this. Fast is best. Meteor drastically lessens the start-from-scratch cruft that makes any other web app framework/stack so daunting to learn. If they can get support for SQL in place, watch out.
