Can MongoDB and GridFS be used for larger projects ?

MongoDB and GridFS can most definitely be used for large projects. There are several examples of that working successfully, such as with foursquare (see http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Production+Deployments#ProductionDeployments-SocialNetworks).
Moving from a relational database to MongoDB is however not really straight forward. MongoDB comes with a new mind set on modeling data, and how you insert, update, and query data is hugely important for its performance characteristics.
