Sounds stable to me. :)

You might need the DynExtenDB should at least take care of the extension problem.

You're going to have to do extensive testing if you want to be able
to bridge every protocol under the sun reliably, especially in
a multi-vendor environment.

You can use whatever you want for authentication.  Look at AGI .

Their simplicity is one of the core design elements of asterisk.
You should be able to implement most of what you need with AGI/DynDB .
