Our developer is hesitating to move on to angular2 because of constant breaking changes and lack of 3rd party packages.
But now that Angular2 is out of beta, would there be any further breaking changes?

This question is about predicting the future. My crystal ball is a bit foggy today but I try anyway ;-)
The Angular team will try hard to avoid breaking changes. They were already trying hard during beta. With each phase the importance of avoiding breaking changes rises.
While there were adding major building blocks that were still missing previously in Angular, they discovered architecture issues that made it difficult to implement these new features, and therefore they fixed it instead of making themselves and all developers living with the sub-optimal solution.
Now the major building blocks are in place. This is why they announced RC phase.
If they now discover major problems in the architecture, I'm pretty sure they will still fix it, even when this causes breaking changes. For minor issues, not breaking any existing code will be more important.
