Think the answer is yes to all three questions, depending on the specifics. They've got a nice setup, about ~40+ edge locations compared to Cloudfront's ~200+, but the advantage is they're massively cheaper for very small increase in latency. They also have the ~5 region high-volume tier which is something like another order of magnitude cheaper.

The feature set is pretty full, no edge functions, but there is a rule engine you can run on the edge. Fast config updates, nice console and works well enough for most of my projects.

They also have a nice integrated storage solution that's way easier to configure than S3 + Cloudfront, and lots of origin shielding options.
