About

Pronomial will work fine for short sentences and should be safe to use in the context of simple things, but it tends to fail horribly in complex sentences.

It you want a proper coreference resolution library I suggest you check out neuralcoref or coreferee

Pronomial should not be used in production most of the time, it is intended as baseline and an experiment on how well this task can be solved using only simple heuristics.
