I do, half the time for giggles when I arrive home. Even at night it does an excellent job.

E1s are packages and I would guess that Parktronic is included in the pkg.

It works great. Scary close when backing up and less efficient than myself, but still a neat feature.

None
I once had it curb my right rear rim as it got too close to the curb, but the other 98% of the time it's been flawless - and quite handy.
I definitely use it more than I need to - just for the novelty.

Not got my car yet but if it's like my BMW when parallel parking it'll line up with the car that's behind you in the parking space. So if that car is too close to the curb / curbed it then pretty much it'll happen to you as well. So just need to keep an eye on things to protect your alloys.

I've heard about this as well. I'll just stick with doing it the old fashioned way.
I'm sure the wheels cost a pretty penny.
When testdriving a new explorer equipped with it my wife asked if she could do it but the salesperson declined because he said it is not 100% accurate and did not want to risk it lol
