As for the wireless shifters not connecting directly to E-Tube Project, I'm not thrilled about that. However, it's not a huge hassle, and you can work around that obstacle if necessary. Use of the SM-PCE02 module (if you have one) definitely makes it easier.
Most likely, yes! My average 50km (30mi) ride has 800m (2500+ft) of total elevation so both of my derailleurs are solicitated a lot.
