I use PHP's pnctl - it is good as long as you know what you do. I understand you situation but I don't think it's something difficult to understand our code, we just have to be little more conscious than ever when implementing JOB queue or Parallel process.

I feel as long as you code it perfectly and make sure the flow is perfect off-course you should keep PARALLEL PROCESS in mind when you implement.

Where you could do mistakes:

1. Loops - should be able to handle by GLOBAL vars.
2. Processing some set of transactions - again as long as you define the sets proper, you should be able to get it done.

Take a look at this example - https://github.com/rakesh-sankar/Tools/blob/master/PHP/fork-parallel-process.php.

Hope it helps.
