How reliable is it, how well does it handle, and how well does it conceal?
I've only got about 50 rounds through it. Mostly ball, but did shoot two mags of Golden Saber HPs. No function issues. It did seem to chamber better with the slide locked back vs trying to chamber it with the slide forward. It handles well for it's size. It being a 9mm it's not going to conceal as easy as a .380, but I can pocket carry it.

Pretty much. When racking it, it will basically lock itself back.

Not sure about it when reloading. I've gotten used to using the slide release.

For me, it depends on the gun I am using. My 1911 has a pretty standard slide release, so I would have a problem getting to it. So for that gun, I use power stroke like when I first load up an empty gun to reinforce repetition. For my XDM, the slide release is big and positioned closer to your thumb and you can easily press it down.

I like power stroke for consistency. Stovepipe/fail to fire/fail to eject you rack for all. So reload i rack. Same motion for multiple occurences. Also guns with a tiny slide stop like sig and glock under stress would be very difficult to actuate. And racking works with any gun out there, no need to change muscle memory to different locations.
