Start using it with both LTR and RTL languages, and explore and debug
any problems (incorrect display, crashes, etc.) that you find.

No.  But the code was only tested and debugged outside Emacs, as a
stand-alone reordering program, so I'd guess it has gobs of (unknown)
bugs when used in the context of Emacs display engine.

Not that I know of, no.
