No, sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about.

daemontools is battled tested. We used it at Stanford on thousands of boxes. I used at a lot of shops, one in SF for example had 40k boxes (CentOS) and 6 ops staff, deployed via CFEngine. Heroku uses daemontools. On and on. Daemontools is mostly used when there is no desire/time to replace the existing init completely.

runit also scales amazingly well, even though it's more work to deploy.

Upstart is too unpredictable (flapping) and sysvinit doesn't do supervising very well, which is why important services are deployed with daemontools/runit.
