The answer is quite probably "no".

Yes.
There will be a note in the wiki making that clear.
Tbh I have no other choice as ceph upstream repeatedly told me the
ceph-ansible playbook is only validated against ansible-1.9 for now.

One of the goals of the ansible effort is to test that particular
playbook against different ansible versions and fix the bugs in the
playbook.
I'd rather start from a known-working environment than from a broken
one to do so.
