I hear relatively long conversations going on at higher speeds, e.g. 25-30 wpm. I think those short exchanges you mentioned only dominate at times when there's a popular contest going on.
Possible yes. I've only come across HF at field days. That's my only exposure to it.
I don't have the space for HF antennas so I don't have any radios for it either (after all, portable HF isn't really a thing either and I don't own a car in which I could have used the higher HF bands)
