So, to summarize the current state of XFS, would I be correcting in
saying the following?

The data-corrupting bug (overwriting the first blocks of an XFS file
system upon forced shutdown) has been fixed. There are still some
problems with spurious forced shutdowns, however, that remain to be traced.

I think there are still difficulties with kernel Oopses as well again
without a clear cause? Beyond this, there are compatibility issues
with LVM that are still being addressed.

>From reading the list, this at least is my impression of where the
ongoing issues lie. Of course it is probably also true that XFS is
working reliably for most users.
