Sorry, for not being able to answer the rest of your questions, but as I understand it, this is to be published soon as an actual Zen Cart plug-in, but the author has had some other priorities above doing that. I would say that the only unstable part I have observed is the user knowing what the program will do based on the data provided and it's current limitations. (Ie, documentation does not have great depth... Yet.)
One thing that seems to be relatively different from other versions of easy populate is that it depends on the product model field to perform all of its actions. Subject to testing? Well isn't every plug-in? It does seem that those new to it go through a sort of initial testing phase as they become familiar with the file naming requirements, the interaction of the various files (what needs to be imported to get from nothing to a product priced by newly created attributes for example). Beyond that, I can't say that I have used the other versions identified. To me, the code of this plug-in is relatively straight forward so if there is something to be done with it like to rearrange or add onto, its not terribly difficult to find where to put it.
I do know there is some development being done to better support multiple languages, but not sure where that is at in development.
