``very''.
It's more stable than the old code ever was. I'm surprised you even succeeded
running the old code with a raid level that has redundancy, I could never
make that work under heavy load.
The 0.90 code is in use a lot of places. I have 7-8 systems or so running with
various levels (all but RAID-4 actually), and it's rock solid.

Stay away from the ``dangerous'' code.
Use Ingo's patch for 2.2.14 at the URL you mentioned. It works with 2.2.14 and
2.2.15(pre-something).
2.2.15pre-X and the 2.2.14 RAID patch is a nice couple. Look out for
rejects when you patch. You will most likely have to fix one small reject
in raid1.c, but it shouldn't be much of a problem I guess.
