I'm just wondering if I can run "reconstruct -r" for all mailboxes while the system is running with mid load? I want to switch all mailboxes to a
new server with more space and without a big downtime.

I'm not sure if your entire plan is safe, however, reconstruct is safe. An individual mailbox or folder just gets locked during the actual reconstruct. Note that it'll increase your I/O load by a pretty large amount during the reconstruct.

I thought that if a mailbox was in use by a client (opened state) then reconstruct would fail for that mailbox? Can someone confirm that reconstruct won't skip the mailbox while the user is writing/reading to the mailbox?
