Happy Crystal user and code contributor here. (Also created https://github.com/compumike/crystal-docker-quickstart in case you want to try Crystal without installing anything.) In my opinion:
- Slow compile times are still a pain for iteration.
- The REPL / interpreter mode is still rough around the edges.
As far as companies using Crystal:
- We’re using it happily in production at Heii On-Call https://heiioncall.com/status
- Kagi is using it for their search engine backend https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32687071
- Other companies using it list: https://crystal-lang.org/used_in_prod/

Crystal for Rubyists
This is great Serdar.
As an alternative to Chapter 2 I’ll also share https://github.com/compumike/crystal-docker-quickstart my project template which lets you get a Crystal (currently 1.6.2) dev environment running with just Docker. Good for kicking the tires, which is what I think your audience is probably wanting to do! And then eventually can install a binary package as you suggest.

Marten, a Crystal web framework that makes building web apps productive and fun
My side project https://totalrealreturns.com/ is now about 5k lines of Crystal. There are some rough edges: in particular I think it could use a better templating solution (a port of HAML would be ideal!), and there are some failure modes with the Redis connection pool that have required workarounds.
This includes unit tests: the built-in spec framework is great and much like rspec. https://crystal-lang.org/reference/1.6/guides/testing.html
I'm now starting to use Crystal for internal backend infrastructure and microservices.
For anyone who wants to kick the tires on Crystal, I built a crystal-docker-quickstart project template: https://github.com/compumike/crystal-docker-quickstart works without having to install anything locally. (Assuming you have docker.) You can have your own, home-built "Hello world" static binary in under a minute:
git clone https://github.com/compumike/crystal-docker-quickstart.git my_app && cd my_app && ./d_dev - crystal-docker-quickstart: try Crystal in a container, without installing anything

Crystal Programming Language
If you'd like to try out Crystal without installing anything locally, I've created a tiny Docker container with a Crystal project template:
https://github.com/compumike/crystal-docker-quickstart
For example, you may do:
git clone https://github.com/compumike/crystal-docker-quickstart.git my_app
