sort of, there are rough edges + it's always composed of foreman nightly which
might not be stable every day

this is expected and covered in readme. AFAIK this remained there for
debugging purposes, maybe it's time to let it run installation automatically.

I hit the same, not expected, should be already fixed in foreman, see [1] for
more details but I seem to hit it with nightly from this morning as well [2]

not expected, you should be able to configure network from installer (staypuft-
installer adds interactive wizard for this)
foreman-release-scl missing is not related to networking

not sure about smart proxy issue, likely caused by foreman-release-scl that
prevents Foreman from starting, so proxy can't register. Note that if you are
in VPN you may have blocked access to centos ntp server, so you should set
your clock server in staypuft installer.
