Horst's posting seems to be one in a fairly long line of 'moans' (and some of them are more howls than moans) that have been appearing with increasing frequency since 4.5.
Maybe because those who are using 5.5.3 successfully don't post; you only hear about problems. I haven't had any trouble with it. There are, however, a good many new features and a few changes to old behaviors that may be interpreted as "bugs" if the developer isn't aware of them.
I'm not saying it's perfect, because I'm sure there certainly must be bugs in there. But I haven't found any showstoppers for what I'm doing and I don't think one person's experience should color everyone else's plans. I've been using 5.5.3 since it became available and I'm just finishing up a project that couldn't have been done in an earlier version.
Your DevaWriter would probably be more flexible and easier to script with the new unicode features. I wonder if those are what Horst thinks are bugs; the scripting has changed considerably and older methods no longer work.
