You should definitely check out django-q! It requires no additional configuration and has quite possibly everything needed to handle any production issues on commercial projects.

It's actively developed and integrates very well with django, django ORM, mongo, redis. Here is my configuration:

# django-q
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
# See: http://django-q.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configure.html
Q_CLUSTER = {
    # Match recommended settings from docs.
    'name': 'DjangoORM',
    'workers': 4,
    'queue_limit': 50,
    'bulk': 10,
    'orm': 'default',

# Custom Settings
# ---------------
# Limit the amount of successful tasks saved to Django.
'save_limit': 10000,

# See https://github.com/Koed00/django-q/issues/110.
'catch_up': False,

# Number of seconds a worker can spend on a task before it's terminated.
'timeout': 60 * 5,

# Number of seconds a broker will wait for a cluster to finish a task before presenting it again. This needs to be
# longer than `timeout`, otherwise the same task will be processed multiple times.
'retry': 60 * 6,

# Whether to force all async() calls to be run with sync=True (making them synchronous).
'sync': False,

# Redirect worker exceptions directly to Sentry error reporter.
'error_reporter': {
    'sentry': RAVEN_CONFIG,
},
}
