Yes, and ALSA as well to some extent. To applications pipewire looks
like a running JACK server, or pulseaudio or like an ALSA device. So
existing apps do not have to be changed.

Search this list archives from 2018. There was a discussion of the
framework.

Yes, all Fedora 34 users, and some Arch'ers too. It comes up regularly
on the Ardour forum in recent months, top 3: [1,2,3].

There are still a few rough edges, but it matures quickly.
