I implemented this in two Rails apps over the last 8 months and its pretty great.
On the first we used it to replace a flash based solution that was causing problems with the Flash 10 release. I had to hack the plugin to handle a case that it wasn't specifically designed to handle in the first one (probably just due to my unfamiliarity with the plugin at that point) and in the second one I had to add all sorts of advanced functionality to an older version of the plugin (v4), which we had used in building the app, initially.
My advice is to make sure to start small (single file upload) and build up, instead of just trying to port your solution over, you might also run into issues with Firefox 3 and all of IE if you go too custom, so keep that in mind.
It really is a great piece of software, detailed version specific documentation and FAQs, and the author blueimp is most helpful and quick in responding to issues on github. I remember a thread with him that went on for days, delving into specific lines of code and why they were written that way and at every point I kept thinking
"Okay, he's either going to cuss me out or stop responding at this point"
but he just kept helping out. Truly exemplary attitude, I can only hope to have half that much patience.
