Without having used it, I can guarantee it is not - I was the last
person to work on it while it was in the main ldc branch, and have been
following its development in the new repository - there simply hasn't
been enough (commit wise) for it to be workable yet. This said, it is
possible that it's on par with D1, I haven't looked in enough detail to
see if that is the case though.
If you're looking for a non-dmd D2 compiler, GDC is currently the
closest, I'm not sure what its current status is (I'm sure Iain will
know) - I'm led to believe it can already compile a nice chunk of (its
own branch of) phobos though.
