Is this reliable to using Redis Pub/Sub for message-queue compare to RabbitMQ ? Because configure and maintain a RabbitMQ message-queue system seems more complicated than Redis.

Redis pub/sub is not meant to be reliable. It does not even queue the messages. Any crash of a subscriber will result in message losses.
There are ways to implement a more secure distributed mechanism with Redis, but it is not with pub/sub.
