The engine is mostly there, but they're rebuilding the UI from scratch and haven't included the menus yet. And no, it's not at all usable on an N800 without a hardware keyboard. The stylus keyboard is completely unavailable, and the finger keyboard (press the center of the D-pad to make it pop up) doesn't let you edit what's already in the address bar - all you can do is add to it (the existing text doesn't appear in the onscreen keyboard's text box). Also, apparently the default for Fennec is to not allow any javascript or java, and any sites that require them that you visit with Fennec will no longer work in MicroB. The fact that you can't change any settings without a hardware keyboard makes that a very serious issue. I didn't notice any stability issues, but I didn't keep it very long.
