FarCry Core is a framework.  FarCry has its own ORM.

Nothing stopping developers from using things like ColdSpring,
Transfer etc, to interact with components and data models not directly
managed by FarCry -- and many of us do.

Not sure what you are referring to here.

Reporting has been removed from Core in 5.0.  Essentially this is
because we can't keep pace with free products like Google Analytics
that offer much better stats.
That said, there has been talk of re-implementing the original FarCry
stats package as a separate plugin but we're looking for an eager
member of the community to run with it.

Each to his own.  Nothing like reviewing 30 polling plugins for a
system.  I prefer to build my own in a day.  We're working on beginner
documentation but we need all the help we can get.

Reporting -- not available.  Recommend using Google Analytics.

Security tab in 5.0 is now merged with Admin.

Google Maps plugin can be installed manually. Details here but has not
been updated for 5.0 yet.  It's pretty straight forward -- if you are
super keen I'll update the doco:

Hope that helps :)
