Only for the hand-written assemply parts of the source code. The rest will be handled by the compilers.

You don't need to be writing assembly. Anything sharing memory between multiple threads could have bugs with ARM's memory model, even if written in C, C++, etc.
Not even close. Except maybe in Rust /s
For rustaceans missing that /s, if you just use Relaxed ordering everywhere and you aren't sure why, but hey tests pass on x86, then yeah on arm it may have a problem. On x86 it effectively is SeqCst even if you specify Relaxed.
