I think the primary focus on further development in Meteor should be supporting additional databases officially, and after that, supporting operational transformation and conflict resolution strategies come to mind. In my opinion, they are the biggest hurdles towards creating reliable real-time applications.

Official React or Angular support isn't a game-changer. They can already be integrated easily with the reactive data providers.

I do believe that the Meteor team is working on those database strategies as well as scalability and deployability on top of their push for mobile. Taking a look at who they are hiring (and their job descriptions) is very telling. It should be exciting to see what they come up with!
How often do you need OT in practice?
Depends on what you're doing. I'm needing it for my thesis -> app and will probably use ShareJS for now.
