If you're talking about merging the branch in to test it for some
prolonged period, then go for it. I will respond to bug reports,
although it has been many, many months since I last worked on this piece
of code. If you have in mind to ship it anytime soon then that is a bad
idea. It has not been sufficiently tested to release yet. In that case
do the merge right after the release so the code can have a suitable
test period by the Emacs developers.
