So has anyone successfully restored an entire system from the Cloud (or
a Time Machine come to think of it)? How easy was it? Any statistics
on success rate? Some TM instructions require 'your original Mac OS
10.5 Leopard DVD' but I upgraded to Mountain Lion on line and have no
corresponding original DVD. If I stop backing up will my system crash
but only till then (Murphy's Law)?

Actually what I will switch to at some point is backing up my Time
Machine disks, The problem with all the free and pay cloud backups is
they only have the latest copy of a file.

All the plans I use are free. They range from 2GB to (I think) 25 GB

You can specify directories or back up the whole disk. Being a
little cheap and having 3 computers on my account, I don't back
up the OS or some aps that are easy to reload. You pay by the how
much space you use for up to three computers on the basic plan. I
think carbonite is about the same.

I'm pretty simplistic about it and use mozy. My computers
are backed up automatically and I don't spend any time
thinking about it. The two times there was a failure of
their data base on my machine getting corrupted, they were
able to recover everything quickly. When we returned to NM
after two months away, I found both a crashed disk and a
hardware failure the backup disk on my wife's computer, both
of which were powered down while we were away. A couple of
clicks on the mozy site restored her whole disk. It's worth
$150 a year.
So what plan do you have? How's it work? Is a full disk
backup, or do you specify directories?
