I use consolekit2 for a while under Xfce session and for me everything is fine. Xfce4-power-manager works better with it.

Moreover, LXQt supports only consolekit2 for systems without systemd. I'm also working on update of lxsession and it is mandatory.

Other BSD [1], [2] are switched to consolekit2.

So for me it is production ready. We can also ask to the KDE team if consolekit2 is supported by their desktop.
