I'm just an ordinary user but, for me:

In practice, yes, but not for mission-critical uses.

No guarantee of future availability.

This one is partly in the FAQ:

Currently, there's a 1024-byte limit on values in OpenDHT. To store
larger values, you'll have to break them into blocks as in (for
example) CFS.

Probably yes.
