The LaTeX and ASCII backends are still in EXPERIMENTAL. The underlying
parser, etc. are in contrib.
I don't know if there is a schedule for moving this to the Org Mode
core, but it looks certain to make it there someday.
My $0.02 would be to wait for it to move to core and have some
documentation outside the docstrings in the .el files and the occasional
message to the list.
At this point Nicolas welcomes comments, so if you have time to
experiment with it you might be able to help him out.
I'm using it now on a real project with a distant time horizon. The
document is still simple, but the experimental LaTeX exporter is doing a
good job. I'm finding it relatively easy to configure.
All the best,
Tom
