Would it be OK to sync the current stable 9.0.4, and keep on updating with
each stable release as time comes? We never know, we might end up with even
higher stable releases by the time emacs 26.1 is released.

I have been using emacs master and org master for ages now without any
issues. So emacs master + org 9.0.4 should not cause any serious problems.
The major issues I forsee are the few backward incompatible changes people
might have to make when org changes from 8.2.x to 9.x (though all those
changes are documented in ORG-NEWS).

Going by the same argument as above, do you think that merging org maint
into emacs master directly is that risky? org master + emacs master has
been super-stable for me.

+1!
