Sure. The only thing I know of that's annoyingly broken at the moment
is that psql's \d functions aren't handling views properly --- psql is
a little behind the curve on the view relkind change. People don't
normally commit unusable code to CVS, because the other developers will
get on their case if the development system is unusable.
The major disadvantage of trying to get work done with CVS-tip code
is that you risk having to do an initdb any time you update. As long
as you can live with that, go for it.

Don't think so. Feel free to submit bug reports if you find problems.
