So is 3.0 when Swift is finally gonna settle into stability? Or are they gonna wait until 4.0 to stop breaking backwards compatibility?

AFAIK Swift is going to be source compatible going forward(don't quote me on that), but ABI stability is not going to be there until 4.0.

Yes, at least that seems like the plan. Take the pain now in order to get it stable.
