Do you load visual line mode automatically when you load org-mode? if not it will definitely be broken, as I have to manually set the major and minor modes on the new buffers (if I don't do that, all indirect buffers will have the same modes as the parent buffer, which I don't want). I bet there's a way to record all the minor modes in a buffer, then reload them in the indirect buffer, but I don't know it.

I'm only sort of aiming at fiction as I don't really write fiction, so I think "status" is great. I'm not so sure about "edition" -- when would you use that, do you think? You may have noticed in any case that org-writers-room-properties is a defcustom, so it an be tweaked by hand if you think your use case is uncommon. I'm sure you will find lots more bugs -- the mode isn't very well-constructed, and in particular it doesn't dismantle itself very well -- really it should remember the existing window arrangement and restore it when it quits...
