The thing I see the most, and that people are happiest with, are student projects (individual and group) in Google Sites that are shared in the course site's Resources or as Web Content tools.  Large program sites are also tending to move toward creating more visual "Resources" areas by using Google sites to display and organize files, forms, and announcements (again, linked as Web Content from the Sakai Project Site for the program/department).

That's the biggest limiting factor we have in people using it more broadly for courses, though it seems to work fine to let the Sakai course site be the "gateway" to access Google content.  That means that all the official course work and assessment are consistently located, too (all can be accessed through the Sakai course sites).
