Well, if you were to wrap functions around it it would be about the same
anyway (there's no event "API" for LV2 really, but Jack of course
wouldn't have exposed structs like the header I pointed to)

There are plenty of people using it, and the API is stable as of 0.109.0
- it's definitely not changing (again) in Jack 1.  The existing one is
fine for the uses intended anyway (if you're doing massive sysex dumps,
don't use Jack)

But there will be a Jack 2 at some point...
