yes, regardless of how you do XFEM now (manually with FESystem and FE_Nothing 
or via FE_Enriched), you would need to use
hp::DoFHandler.

correct, see https://github.com/dealii/dealii/issues/3511 
<https://github.com/dealii/dealii/issues/3511>
note that you can still use MPI for linear algebra, matrices and vectors,
but you would need to store the whole triangulation on each core.

Sorry, i did not get what you mean.
