Questions about 1257 AD

So this may be my favorite mod that I have ever played, largely because the setting lends itself better to my imagination than other mods (love medieval history) and I can play as somebody who I am actually invested in. I just have a few questions.

1. Is it worth it to download the subversion in 2018? I have the 1.13 angry peasants edition, but I have still noticed some minor bugs slip through the cracks, like after defeating an enemy, I am prompted to continue the battle with my retinue versus 0 enemies (easily fixed by entering the battle and leaving). So as I understand it, the subversion allows the mod to update automatically, should I get it or is it obsolete with 1257 being finished?

2. Is it normal for all of the cities to be impoverished? I understand that many despots simply wouldn't give a fuck about the peasants but cities like Venice should not be described as "unbearable" in the cities screen.

3. Has anybody tried this submod? What do it do besides change graphics? It requires new game so I'm hesitant to install and restart.

4. If I install this proper English pack, will it work with 1.13 and will I need to start a new game? On a related noted I assume it was originally written in Latin? Is it possible to switch back and forth between languages without having to start a new game? Also some of the cultures confuse me. There is a Latin and Italian troop type in Italy, yet Latin troops are also found in spain, but no spanish troops. What gives?
