Now my questions are:
1. I guess I should become a subscriber to get the latest and greatest
version. How does that work in practice - I subscribe and then get access
to a 'secret' PPA?
you can get a PPA that supplies newer packages, such as ardour. but, PPA's
are not officially supported by ubuntu, and, you will be on your own with
support, which, with the strong support team or ardour its self, that is
not a problem, just something to be aware of.

what do i suggest for you? regardless of what you are doing, or using, you
should have *good* backups.. have backups for your projects, so that *when*
your hard drive *does* fail (as all do) you will have a backup.. this will
have the added benefit of allowing you to address any issues you may or may
not have with ardour version instability. then, i say, just use the stock
version, unless you are having an issue, or want to use the latest from
ardour. as they saying goes, "if it aint broke.." and it seems like you are
just "researching" potential problems with ardour and the operating system,
rather than trying to address a specific problem you are having..

Thanks a lot for a useful answer! You're quite right, I didn't have any
serious issue yet (one system freeze, but no data loss). I guess I'll
subscribe and stay up to date that way.
