Very nice works you have on your website.
Happy to see professional animators work with free software. ^_^
I am working on 2D animation with Free software too. Maybe you will be
interested to look at the project we are working on now -
http://morevnaproject.org/. There are lot of notes about our workflow
and tools we use. ^_^

Apart of blender we use Synfig Studio for compositing too - http://synfig.org/

I can say Blender + JACK + Ardour is awesome and very powerful.

About the environment. We use git to store the sources. Also we are
using Remake for automatic rendering of the projects, it helps a lot -
