OK - I'm in the process of downloading LyX 2.4.0 RC4, with MikTeX as back-end 
(I already had MikTeX installed...).

This is what didn't work so far (during installation):
* installation of dictionaries and thesauri in both Norwegian forms failed 
(Norsk Bokmål, Nynorsk)
* installation of thesauri in US and GB English failed.

I have been using the master branch for regular work for well over a year. My 
recent book

     https://academic.oup.com/book/56184

was produced using it. I.e., the book was printed from a PDF I provided to OUP. 
So it's entirely usable.

That may depend upon your OS, but someone else should be able to say. 
The one thing you have to do is keep the user directories separate.

Again, that will depend upon your OS.

The background TeX installation should not matter. They all have the same bits. 
(TeXLive, though, is an alternative to MikTeX.)
