Transcript has been in use at least since KDE 4.0, which is since 2007. I
cannot really remember but I'd say KDE 3 also extended GNU gettext to a
certain degree. I'd say it's mature enough :-)

Actually, most of those limitations also apply to Qt Linguist, which is why
KDE had to create Transcript (the author of the Gettext Generalized spec is
a KDE developer, he did quite some work on the implementation of
Transcript).
The few limitations that don't apply to Qt Linguist are more of an accident
than a feature (e. g. translations-by-id: only available in QML and looks
like a hack to cope with some early QML limitations).
