Development of Storm has slowed down recently, but I wouldn't consider
it inactive.  One thing to note is that most (all?) of the developers
work on Storm to further other projects that make use of the library,
so one explanation for the slowed development is that it currently
satisfies most of their requirements for an SQL database ORM.  This
isn't to say that things are perfect: we certainly could do better
w.r.t. documentation, for instance.

As for whether it is suitable for use in production, it is currently
used at Canonical in Launchpad, Landscape and Ubuntu One, which are
all non trivial sites with large numbers of users.
