I wouldn't describe it as a database middleware since the database is an implementation detail.

While it is not being worked on right now I wouldn't assume it will get more difficult to keep working. I am currently running an unchanged Kontact 4.4 on KDE 4.7 and it continues to work without any problem, so I would not expect an upgrade to KDE 4.8 to cause any either.
