Does the server hang at start without receiving chef-client run traffic
or only after nodes check-in and (attempt to) run?

At present, this sounds most like the known issue with the dependency
solver -- especially when you describe that updates to cookbooks and
roles work, but CCRs fail.

This would not explain bookshelf hanging, however.

We've replaced the dependency solver -- restoring the gecode based
solver that is faster and more robust (at the cost of the dependency on
gecode). You can experiment with it by installing a nightly build of
Chef Server.
