As far as I know not (yet).

I didn't dare to touch them without someone approving the change since
I'm not sure what exactly each one means:
Font metrics - I guess it was fixed recently
Grid typesetting - never tried
Paper size - I guess it was fixed recently
Object reuse - I have problems including figures at all anyway (but
I'm talking about Linux & Windows ports)
Bookmarks - problems still there
PDF Literals - most probably still a problem
Occasionally Explodes - it's written that it was fixed, so it may be
removed I guess
Hoefler Italic is too fancy - no idea how to test
