I've been making some CF picks lately (amongst other components). I have some 0.2mm picks which have the approximate stiffness of a 0.5mm nylon pick (I haven't performed any proper stress tests... I'm going purely by feel). I have also made some 0.4mm ones which feel like 0.8-1mm nylon. I love the way they look and there is definitely a difference in tone in my opinion.... (not necessarily for the better, but that is a matter of taste I guess)
I do worry about the damage caused to the strings though, Due to CF being so abrasive..... Also the 0.2mm picks are like little razors.

I mostly think of them as a novelty item, unless you need a pick that is both stiff and thin. As for being hard on the strings, I doubt it's as bad as using stone or metal. Still hard to believe that Brian May (of Queen) uses a sixpence coin as a pick.
