Can't speak for op, but for us the ones based on RabbitMQ have performed well:

Stay away from Celery if you can, or stick to v3.2 because 4.x has a ton of bugs.

Celery has always been a massive resource drain, and for pretty much zero gain. I'd suggest just saying "stay away from Celery" as it's easy to get going with, but really hard to scale or work with when you need what it promises. There are better options.

Agree that you should stay away from Celery in most cases, but it does integrate well with Django, and pre-4.x is stable enough.

It's just a fairly higher amount of boilerplate and setup compared to most of the alternatives either way.
