Curious to know who is using Deno in anger most days and in production full time? It seems like the choice of JS runtimes exploded over the past few years with that, Bun, etc.

I use it for several applications (frontend, backend, CLIs) in production settings, and it has been excellent. Caveat: I serve small internal teams mostly, some projects only serve < dozen users. One is around 500/day. No issues at all. I’ll definitely use Deno desktop for these internal tools. Their binary compilation (especially now that it can include other binaries) has been totally sound and I expect this to work well too.
Worth noting is that the team has improved compilation features steadily. Every issue I watched last year has been completed and I’m not encountering blockers anymore.
Why "etc."? Isn't it just node, bun and deno? Genuine question
In case someone is using something we haven't heard of e.g some are running using cloudflare workers which also has some unique runtime properties. AWS has something called LLRT.

We have created Edge.js that can run Node.js apps fully using your preferred JS runtime: V8 or QuickJS.

There's QuickJS, LLRT, Rhino, and GameMaker is about to get TS/JS support.
