Reverse DNS for telecom gear (routers, switches, etc.) still makes sense

As soon as a viable alternative is in wide-spread production and which
doesn't have the same kinds of problems (or new ones which are worse), we
can do so. Until then, it's pretty much the only reasonable game in town
for the masses to use.
No, a false sense of security is *worse* than nothing. And as long as 
the band-aid sticks, there little incentive to do things right.
