I'm using a multitude of nested flexboxen in a web app currently in testing and it's working well. There may be theoretical performance issues and slightly odd behaviour at points but nothing I've noticed -- main thing is all the layout-juggling JS I didn't have to write...

I remember about 4 years ago I discovered flexbox but of course it didn't have good browser support yet and there were even a few other competing proposed CSS solutions.

Just last month I started using it on a production application for the first time. We all talk about the web moving fast, but 4 years is a long damn time to have to wait. Especially considering I was doing a lot of WPF/Silverlight at the time as well and this type of layout support was built in from the start.

You didn't really have to wait that long, I used it on a site a year ago (Autumn 2013) and managed IE8 support along with FF, Chrome, IE8+ with a combination of the 'old' flexbox and the new (+ a couple of IE hacks).
