Can you describe a bit further what happened? Have you found a real reason for
the problems?

I'd assume that all accesses finally boil down to a file:// or similar access,
so the problem must be somewhere in between. Failure to lock the DB on an NFS
mount or a defective BDB version come to mind.

I don't see that the docs say so, Apache and svnserve are both distinct ways
to setup a server. Both have limits and advantages, but I don't see either
preferred. I personally prefer svnserve because Apache is a big blob of
software that I'm not even close to understanding.

I'd like to hear more about problems, since I'm also currently deploying a
first installation for >1 user.
