. I have not found many resources discussing using a non-router box as a route reflector (ie a device not necessarily in the forwarding path of the through traffic). I am thinking things like OpenBGPd and BIRD could make a good route reflector though they are most often discussed in the context of IXPs (ie eBGP sessions).
The CSR1000v (IOS-XE),IOS-XRv and vMX are production ready. People are deploying these in production and its increasing in popularity.
