I'm still a bit wary about HHVM in production environments... I ended up needing to set up ps watcher to make sure the process restarted after server reboots and general failures the one time I tried it out.
If your permalinks aren't working as intended, take a look at this nginx configuration. After modifying it a bit for my server, all of the permalink issues I had were solved

That Facebook is using HHVM in production makes me a little more comfortable with it.

True, but I would guess that Facebook's application runs mostly on code that Facebook is responsible for maintaining. On the other hand, most WordPress websites have at least a couple of third party plugins and/or themes and those usually assume you're running on PHP 5 so there's a higher chance of stuff like this happening.
Probably wouldn't be an issue very often but I would be more paranoid about updates breaking things if I were running HHVM in production.
