If you're running with AOF then redis is perfectly fine for storing eg: call logs where the transaction is naturally atomical to a single command. In my experience problems have occur because AOF isn't the default persistence setting (Snapshotting is the default in Ubuntu apt at least). So if Redis get's upgraded in an apt-get upgrade then the sysadmin needs to take care not to override the AOF configuration. This is not unlike postgres upgrading from 9.1 to 9.2, for example. Not catastrophic, but boy it'll make your heart pump! I think the best solution at the moment it to not use apt to manage Redis updates so that you have full control over the configuration.
