You will probably more concern on running Meteor on mobile devices if you're talking about scaling, you might consider Swift and Android Studio, I didn't go further with Meteor due to mobile experience that Swift can provide native experience and running as a web framework like what Meteor does.

Other concern is the architecture, I couldn't explore the internal working in Meteor.js due to some difficulty in understanding the concept. That was a factor I moving to Swift as well.
