The vusage daemon is written with this in mind, though it's more efficient
to have it run on the device providing storage so that it isn't doing disk
polling over a network connection.
The vusage daemon accepts connections from an allowed list of IPs for usage
queries so that it can be used in a cluster efficiently.

Correct. vusaged supports Maildir++, and at this time, ignores maildirsize
because it's redundant, and inefficient means of calculating storage.
Later, vusaged will be updated to re-write maildirsize. It's currently set to
be in addition to existing quota monitoring systems, with a greater efficiency,
as to deprecate other quota configuration systems, but it should not interfere
or cause number variances.

That depends upon a great many things, such as, what is checking quotas, and
when. In general, if the daemon is running, and it does not have to be, both
Maildir++ quotas, and vpopmail's vusage style of quota checking should work fine
at the same time.
If vusaged is not running, Maildir++ quotas should continue to work.

In 5.4.28, if the vusage daemon is not running, traditional Maildir++ quota
checking is done.
