I don't have all the answers, but I will give it a try.

Yes, but rbd-mirror is a single process at the moment. So mirroring a very large number of images might become a bottleneck at some point. I don't know where that point it.

iirc, images need the fast-diff feature enable to be able to support mirroring, more on that in the docs: http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rbd/rbd-mirroring/

The problem is, if you have old RBD images, maybe even format 1, you will not be able to mirror those.

Some rbd format 2 images neither, since they don't have the journal and don't have the fast-diff.

So per image it will depend if the mirroring is able to run.

The initial sync might be slow and block the single rbd-mirror process. Afterwards, if fast-diff is enabled it shouldn't be a real problem.
