It's a bit faffy, and doing a yum install rather than an anaconda install
means there was a little bit more niggly setup left to do.  But I'd have no
worries about doing it this way.

Not ages, but you're not going to see any problems from this kernel change.

You can happily run anything you like, we're only talking about disabling PAE.
You're limiting yourself to ~3Gbytes of RAM, but given my laptop's hardware
only supports 1.25Gbytes maximum, that's not really a problem.  Seriously,
it's going to be able to do exactly what any other non-PAE enabled
distribution would be able to do.
