With the Gates system, I'm thinking an overshift might equal a new belt. If you torqued the belt, or nicked it up, I'm not sure I'd keep riding with it.
As for No 3, fiting the Gates ring would seem to be rather problematic as you allude to. It's substantially wider than a conventional chainring. I'm thinking on many frames, if you put the timing ring on the inside, and moved the crank far enough right to clear the stays, you'd have a chain line issue.
