That depends on several factors. Here are some pros and cons of each:

It is not recommended you do this because you may run into issues. For example, some changes were made in crypto_master.php and data/upgrader2.php prior to the first v11 alpha. These changes will result in a broken upgrade unless you already pulled these changes from git. Similar situations could happen in the future as well.

It is recommended you either discard the git install and use a fresh install from the Downloads, or to maintain a git install and a bleeding-edge release install separately. Do not combine the two.

Absolutely! Frequent changes may be made to both bundled and non-bundled addons. Bundled addons will be updated via the upgrader. For non-bundled addons, you will have to update them through the addons management screen (Admin Zone > Structure > Addons). You will be informed which ones need updated.

Once version 11 reaches release candidate, we do not expect frequent updates to non-bundled addons anymore. But it is still good practice to check after every update.

Yes, for basic non-custom v10 sites. However, expect some issues to arise in the process. And please report those issues to the tracker.

For v10 sites with non-bundled addons or customisations, upgrading to v11 will likely break the site until you update the non-bundled addons or temporarily remove the customisations.

We aim to have the upgrader fully functional for a large majority of types of sites and for sites using non-bundled addons by the time version 11 reaches release candidate stage.

We do not recommend upgrading production v10 sites at this time until v11 reaches stable.

Yes (probably). Always remember especially during alpha and beta phases that things can break. Please make backups first. And let us know on the issue tracker if an issue occurs.
 

Note: You cannot upgrade from 11 alpha to 11 beta without first upgrading to 11.alpha4 (if you are not already on 11.alpha4).

Powerful parental controls configuration to comply with necessary online safety and privacy laws

Set different rules for different regions so you can comply with varying laws across the globe (according to the region members set on their profile)

Automatically generates a portion of the automatic Privacy Policy block depending on your configuration; also define your own custom text (e.g. stating the laws which enforce each rule you set)

Optionally require and/or lock down from editing certain core profile fields for compliance: date of birth, time zone, and region

Optionally enforce IP address geo-location to match the country defined on a member's profile (useful for sites featuring region-locked content)

Parental consent: require the legal guardians of members under a certain age to fill out and send in a consent form (e-mailed to the child) to gain access

Lockout: prevent anyone under a certain age from logging in at all until they are of age
